I want to see more women making decisions, controlling resources, & shaping policies. That’s why I’m committing $1B over the next 10 years to expanding women’s power & influence in the U.S. #EqualityCantWait, & no one in a position to act should either. https://t.co/Rh6SkRH0ma

@RachelQuijanoV I totally get what you mean. I think that's why it's so important to have a good support system, a great mentor if possible, someone you can look up to, something you're working towards and not fall into the stereotype/imposter syndrome. #wecandoanything

A4: A role of authority helps women feel that their work and dedication is valuable to their company or school. Women complying with their responsibilities shows that they have the power to succeed just as great as their male counterparts! #WICSCHAT https://t.co/Tq5pLx0XzB

[Knight School of Computing @FIUSCIS]

Q4: Does giving responsibility/authority to help empower women in CS? #WICSCHAT

[Rachel Quijano @RachelQuijanoV]

A3: I feel like women might feel overwhelmed with the workload that computer science often brings. Not only that, but women also tend to underestimate their skills and knowledge in the subject and end up thinking that computer science just isn't for them. #WICSCHAT #FIUSCIS https://t.co/JcAxoVTv3d

[Knight School of Computing @FIUSCIS]

Q3: Why do women in the CS field leave halfway through their career? #WICSCHAT

#FIU #FIUTech #FIUSCIS #Miamitech

[Rachel Quijano @RachelQuijanoV]

A2: I myself face the challenge as a female computer science enthusiast that not many other girls around me want to study it, either because they find it too challenging or uninteresting. I feel like more women should appreciate what computer science can achieve. #WICSCHAT https://t.co/SNM7dh6bol

[Knight School of Computing @FIUSCIS]

Q2: What are the challenges young women with CS positions face? #WICSCHAT

#FIUChat #FIUTech #FIUSCIS #ITEducation

[Rachel Quijano @RachelQuijanoV]

A1: Although Computer Science can be considered an intricate field of study, I feel like that's what drives young women to pursue a career in such a field. The rewarding feeling when you finally solve a difficult problem is possibly the best part about it all. #WICSCHAT #FIUSCIS https://t.co/OJ3Ez1obG9
