Meet the speakers:

Kira Wetzel founded girls + data, a 501(c)(3) when she participated in a Girls in Tech – Milwaukee mentoring opportunity in 2016. Young women in elementary, intermediate, and high school attended this event to ask questions to a wide panel of women IT professionals. As the only data analytics professional in the room, she had quite the audience trying to understand what she did. After talking to about ten girls and one parent, Kira left the event having answered several questions about one serious misconception about working in technology: a career in technology means a career in computer science or programming. As a woman who loves data analytics and who uses programming „some of the time,“ she has set out to overcome the idea that you have to be a „coder“ to be a woman in tech. Through hands-on workshops she has developed a program that culminates in participants developing real world exposure to dashboard development and analytics. In 12 months this program has provided approximately 300 students with exposure to careers in data analytics and have an exciting roadmap for 2018-2019 that will provide more advanced hands-on experience. By day, Kira is currently works and lives in Silicon Valley. During the day she is developing analytics and outside of playing with data she can be found traveling with her husband, playing with her dogs, and distance running.
