Our guest is Amita Shetty, Director of Break Through Tech Chicago, a center affiliated with UIC with the mission to increase gender diversity in the tech industry and support women and non-binary students to pursue tech careers. Amita has deep knowledge of why we need gender diversity in the tech world and why we need more women and non-binary individuals to lead in tech innovations.  In this meetup, you will learn about the professional resources offered by Break Through Tech, learn how to apply for a membership, about a new opportunity to take CS111 in a small cohort with tuition support, and about upcoming sprinternships (short internships with actual tech companies). This meetup is a great opportunity for female and non-binary students to meet and greet each other and explore a network of professional support.
