CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap is a documentary that exposes the dearth of American female and minority software engineers and explores the reasons for this gender gap and digital divide. CODE was named Best Documentary Feature at the 2015 Rhode Island International Film Festival and Audience Favorite at 2015 Mill Valley Film Festival. The film highlights breakthrough efforts that are producing more diverse programmers, shows how this critical gap can be closed, and features an interview with Indiana University’s own Nathan Ensmenger, Associate Professor in the School of Informatics and Computing. CODE asks: what would society gain from having more women and minorities code and how do we get there? This screening is sponsored by the IU Center of Excellence for Women in Technology (CEWiT) and the School of Informatics. Director Robin Hauser Reynolds is scheduled to be present.
