A couple of weeks ago I dropped in on the website "Nærmest lykkelig i nørdland" (closer to happiness in nerd country) and entered my story. A lot of other girls working in the Danish IT-industry had done the same. What I didn't see coming was - a mail from one of the journalists behind the project, who wanted to know more about me - and that they are considering using my story for their book on female IT role models....
HUH? But I am just the average "IT-Jane" - I have always worked hard to get good grades. I don't have photographic memory or sleepwalk through my exams. What I do have though - is a passion for my work and for open source, so I filled in the questionaire the journalist sent me.
And now I am being interviewed next week!
The project wishes to put focus on why so few Danish girls chooses Science-based educations - and being one of only 10 girls who started at Computer Science along with 300 guys - I sincerly want to support their goal of enlightning girls (and their mother) - as to WHY its a really good idea to choose some sort of Science based education.
Lets do some myth busting about being a girl in the IT-industry
