There will be 1.4 million jobs by 2020

0:00:08.270,0:00:09.760
in the computing related fields,

0:00:09.760,0:00:12.496
less than 29% of them are[br]gonna be filled by Americans,

0:00:12.496,0:00:16.130
and less than 3% of that[br]29% are gonna be women.

0:00:16.130,0:00:18.770
I don't think software[br]engineering is a meritocracy.

0:00:18.770,0:00:21.250
Being excellent or being[br]good at your job isn't enough

0:00:21.250,0:00:22.700
if you're a woman in tech.

0:00:22.700,0:00:24.410
This sort of phenomenon of the programmer

0:00:24.410,0:00:25.590
has really interested me.

0:00:25.590,0:00:26.423
Programmer.

0:00:26.423,0:00:27.256
Programmer.

0:00:27.256,0:00:28.230
Programmer.

0:00:28.230,0:00:31.010
It's hard to encourage[br]more women to come into

0:00:31.010,0:00:33.610
an environment that will[br]sexually harass them

0:00:33.610,0:00:34.660
and not fund up.

0:00:34.660,0:00:36.040
As soon as a woman gets introduced,

0:00:36.040,0:00:37.170
it's like a log in the water.

0:00:37.170,0:00:38.320
When companies started putting

0:00:38.320,0:00:41.230
these full diversity[br]disclosure reports out there,

0:00:41.230,0:00:42.063
it became very obvious.

0:00:42.063,0:00:43.510
Wow, there really is a problem.

0:00:44.800,0:00:46.715
This is something that we[br]need to be trying to address.

0:00:46.715,0:00:48.785
[up beat music]

0:00:48.785,0:00:50.800
Women were the pioneer programmers,

0:00:50.800,0:00:53.180
they've been written out[br]of history unfortunately.

0:00:53.180,0:00:54.350
NARRATOR 1: Grace Hopper came up

0:00:54.350,0:00:56.755
with the concept of real[br]programming languages.

0:00:56.755,0:00:58.800
Coding's magic.

0:00:58.800,0:01:02.663
I like coding because instead[br]of us being consumers,

0:01:02.663,0:01:04.617
we could be like a producer.

0:01:04.617,0:01:06.420
And the same way that everyone should know

0:01:06.420,0:01:08.040
a little bit about law[br]and everyone should know

0:01:08.040,0:01:10.110
a little bit about economics,[br]you probably should know

0:01:10.110,0:01:11.740
a little bit about computer science.

0:01:11.740,0:01:14.340
Growing up, I was actually a system kid.

0:01:14.340,0:01:16.240
I didn't know that I[br]could learn how to code

0:01:16.240,0:01:17.290
like so quickly.

0:01:17.290,0:01:19.630
The reason that there's a[br]gap is actually related to

0:01:19.630,0:01:21.520
some really real structural factors.

0:01:21.520,0:01:24.250
Girls aren't encouraged to[br]pursue computer science.

0:01:24.250,0:01:25.500
They're overlooked because you know,

0:01:25.500,0:01:27.180
it's the boys that are good in science,

0:01:27.180,0:01:30.250
and it's boys that are taking[br]apart computers at age nine.

0:01:30.250,0:01:33.590
Most students have no[br]exposure to programming.

0:01:33.590,0:01:37.300
Computer science should be a requirement

0:01:37.300,0:01:39.510
in all public schools.

0:01:39.510,0:01:41.060
This is a Rosie the Riveter Moment

0:01:41.060,0:01:42.890
because the jobs are here

0:01:42.890,0:01:44.570
and we don't have the[br]workers to fill them.

0:01:44.570,0:01:48.460
For the digital revolution[br]to truly be great.

0:01:48.460,0:01:51.710
It can't just be for[br]certain set of people.

0:01:51.710,0:01:53.840
I'm hopeful because I think[br]that the tech industry

0:01:53.840,0:01:54.990
could move the fastest.

0:01:54.990,0:01:57.010
If we see the problem, we can debug it.

0:01:57.010,0:01:59.570
This is our country, our[br]cities, our communities,

0:01:59.570,0:02:00.743
our children, our code.

0:02:04.128,0:02:06.340
NARRATOR 2: Code

0:02:06.340,0:02:07.783
Debugging, the gender gap.
