\"Print\"Through our Women in Tech series<\/a> on the Rocket Yard, we\u2019ve discussed the lack of diversity in the technology industry with women comprising 51 percent of the workforce, yet only 26 percent of tech professionals.<\/p>\n

In some of our own reading this week, we\u2019ve come across a series by CNET titled \u201cSolving for XX<\/a>\u201d. The special report explores \u201cwhat people and companies are doing to make the tech industry more diverse, more equitable and more welcoming to women.\u201d Here are just some of the articles featured in the series:<\/p>\n

\u2018The Slights Add Up\u2019<\/strong>
\nIn a commentary piece<\/a>, Jason Hiner asks you to consider the subtle and often subconscious ways in which women are overlooked, devalued and underestimated in the business world.<\/p>\n

\u2018Girls Just Want to Code\u2019<\/strong>
\nGetting young girls interested in code is only half the battle<\/a>, say authors Donna Tam and Nick Statt. The key is to keep them interested through college as too few are graduating with STEM degrees.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s Not Women Who Are the Problem\u2019<\/strong>
\nSilicon Valley’s male-dominated culture could cost the technology industry the thing it values most: innovation,\u00a0writes Connie Guglielmo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
