Tech shouldn’t be a Boys Club: Alice Bentinck at TEDxUCLWomen

Why do girls shy away from tech? Alice Bentinck, co-founder of Entrepreneur First, thinks that boys shouldn’t rule the tech world. She speaks about the innovative potential of young female minds in the digital world, and in particular those she herself has mentored as part of the newly-founded initiative, CodeFirst: Girls.

Event Summary– On December 6th 2013, the first university in the UK to admit men and women on equal merit, University College London (UCL) hosted its first ever TEDxWomen event. www.tedxuclwomen.com

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
