Tech jobs are growing three times faster than our colleges are producing computer science graduates. By 2020, there will be one million unfilled software engineering jobs in the USA. Through compelling interviews, artistic animation and clever flashpoints in popular culture, CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap examines the reasons why more girls and people of color are not seeking opportunities in computer science and explores how cultural mindsets, stereotypes, educational hurdles and sexism all play roles in this national crisis. Formed in 2014, HERE Seattle aims to create a forum for underrepresented minorities in the tech industry through social events, mentoring, and engaging programming centered on business and culture. Members of HERE Seattle will share their personal experiences in tech followed by a screening of CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. This film is not in IMAX. Doors open: 6:30 p.m Cost: Free for all. Members can reserve their free tickets online. Free general tickets will be available at the box office in advance or at the door while supplies last.
