About this talk
Jewelbots
We all know how important it is to teach technical literacy to our youth, particularly to young girls. But their future is at risk, says Jewelbots Cofounder Sara Chipps. In 2018, just 18% of U.S. computer science graduates were girls1. This is the story of a friendship bracelet for the iPhone era, one that gets young girls like Ellie excited about coding.
