In this talk, Malavika Vivek, explains that diversity programs in silicon valley and in the U.S. have resulted in a slowing-down in diversity, and in order to make real change, a radical shift in perspective to normalize diversity must occur.

To date, Girls Make Apps has inspired hundreds of girls and women from middle school through college to enter the world of tech through free workshops, programs, and hackathons across the country. Vivek has also worked with educators to improve computer science education in public schools. Vivek has been honored as a Stanford University #include fellow for her efforts to bridge the diversity gap in tech and has also been featured for her work in Amy Poehler’s Smart Girlsand the Huffington Post. She is an experienced speaker and has given talks to students, guidance counselors, and educators at conferences in the United States and abroad. She was a featured speaker at Digital4Her in Belgium, a conference organized by the European Commission.
