Intercode: Part 2

This week’s episode is the second episode of a 2 part series of Technically Human. Over the next two episodes, I speak with the six women/nonbinary/trans individuals of the new collective “Intercode” about their experiences transitioning into the tech industry after leaving established careers. They share their stories about what led them to decide to leave their established careers and retrain as technologists through the Grace Hopper Coding Academy, a program specifically targeting women/nonbinary/trans individuals who want to learn how to code to pursue careers in the tech industry. Intercode is a collective of voices exploring how the intersection of identity and privilege impacts every facet of the tech industry–including access, culture and the ethics governing the space. Through candid conversation and writing, we work to tackle the ways current DEI efforts can still fall short in fostering inclusive and equitable spaces. ​​
