Do you see yourself as part of technology?

Medieteknik Live / Öppen föreläsning i Medieteknik med Binette Seck

Binette Seck är social entreprenör, teknikvisionär och Sveriges första kvinnliga Obama Leader. Som medgrundare av ChangersTech och partner i iCog Anyone Can Code har hon skapat möjligheter för tusentals unga att få tillgång till teknikutbildning och framtidens arbetsliv – med särskilt fokus på inkludering och samhällsnytta. I föreläsningen Do you see yourself as part of technology? tar Binette med oss på en inspirerande resa genom tre perspektiv: Story of Self – hennes personliga berättelse om att “you can get to anywhere from anywhere”, Story of Now – hur hinder kan bli vägar till möjligheter, och Story of Us – om kraften i gemenskap, livslångt lärande och hur vi tillsammans kan skapa verklig påverkan genom STEM.
