On December 1 Charlotte Hearts Gigabit was proud to promote the screening of the movie CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. A summary can be viewed below:
The movie CODE exposes the dearth of female and minority software engineers and explores the reasons for this gender gap and digital divide. The film highlights breakthrough efforts that are producing more diverse programmers and shows how this critical gap can be closed.
