What is it?

The series is an opportunity for young women to come and learn from professionals in the technology industry about professional and personal skills. These sessions are interactive, giving you the chance to ask questions about what it is like to be a woman in the STEM field. The topics are based on discussions from the novel Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg.
