SUMMARY:CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap (Screening)
DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Luskin Center\, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, Creative Artists Agency\, and the UCLA Office of Information Technology for a free screening of CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap followed by a panel discussion with the renowned producers.REGISTER HEREDOCUMENTARY SYNOPSISCODE: DEBUGGING THEGENDER GAP exposes the dearth of American female and minority software\nengineers and explores the reasons for this gender gap and digital divide. \nTech jobs are growing\nthree times faster than our colleges are producing computer science graduates.\nBy 2020\, there will be one million unfilled software engineering jobs in the\nUSA. Through compelling interviews\, artistic animation and clever flashpoints in\npopular culture\, CODE examines the reasons why more girls and people of color\nare not seeking out opportunities in computer science and explores how cultural\nmindsets\, stereotypes\, educational hurdles\, and sexism all play roles in this\nnational crisis. Expert voices from the worlds of tech\, psychology\, science\,\nand education are intercut with personal stories of women who are engaged in\nthe fight to challenge complacency in the tech industry and have their voices\nheard. CODE aims to inspire change in mindsets\, in the educational system\, in\nstartup culture and in the way women see themselves in the field of coding. \nComputer code forms\nthe foundation of modern society. Cell phones\, apps\, navigation systems\,\nmedical equipment\, banking\, movie animation… are all driven by code. The more\ndiverse a team of coders is\, the broader their perspective of society’s needs\,\nwhich can ultimately result in products that serve a greater breadth of\nhumanity. \nCODE takes a hard look\nat the pipeline question in technology: why aren’t there more women and\nminority graduates in computer science? What is stopping them from getting to\nthe threshold? CODE follows the various challenges faced by a new generation of\nwomen programmers and the ingenious ways they are using their skills\, drive\,\nintellect and vision to disrupt the traditional\, male-dominated tech world. \nCODE looks to the\npast\, delving into the history of computing to highlight women like Ada\nLovelace and Grace Hopper who set the stage for today’s technology. CODE acknowledges\nthat women have been an important part of computing since the genesis of\ncomputers\, but have since been written out of this history. \nCODE is not afraid to\nask the hard questions and does so with intelligence and a sense of humor\,\nexamining our culture from high (the views of former Harvard President Larry\nSummers on innate ability) to low (an app called “Titstare” presented\nto a room of tech heavyweights). \nA blend of personal\nstories\, expert voices\, innovative animation\, historic discoveries\, and moments\nfrom popular culture are complemented with a cutting edge musical score and\nbolstered by a strong sense of purpose. CODE reflects\, at its heart\, the\ninterconnectedness of the stories\, the web\, and by proxy\, the shared vision of\na new\, more democratic community made possible by the inclusion of more women\nin code.Directions and\nParking\n1. From Hilgard Ave. enter the east side of\ncampus at Wyton Dr.\n2. Make and immediate right turn onto Charles E.\nYoung Dr. East and signs will direct you to Parking Structure 3.\n3.

Young Dr. North and\nproceed down steps) and walk straight alongside Melnitz and Macgowan Halls.\n4. Turn left at the plaza and proceed to the\ncourtyard of theaters.
