With almost 250 years of effort to fight for gender equality, it may surprise you to know that it is still an issue in Hong Kong. There is a high dropout rate of women developers in the tech industry which drops considerably from 3:7 at school to 1:10 at work. Diversity in the STEM industry is, however, critical if organisations want to build high performing teams. As a student and a soon-to-be junior employee, what can you do to fight for gender equality at your future workplace and in society at large?

LEAP@HKUST will bring the most realistic depiction of gender dynamics in the workplace to you- directly told by professional women in the tech industry. The event features a panel discussion. As a participant, you will be well-informed of the status quo, but also engage in meaningful conversations with guests of stereotypes and challenges in the tech workplace.
