These fields change the way we live – but they need more women and people of colour to help create new developments that serve all of society, not just a small segment.

Technological developments done without involving a diverse range of people can mean that biased technology develops – from health apps with no menstrual tracking features to artificial intelligence that doesn’t recognise darker skin tones and more.
