For quite a while, I have been thinking about this issue. Recently, MHacks (University of Michigan's hackathon) made it aware that they were devoting more efforts to bringing more women to their event. Also in the news is Paul Graham's comments about the gender gap in tech. After reading articles (https://medium.com/p/e034a09248c1) and observing discussions in facebook groups (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1384252878496456/), i'm bringing this conversation to the genius hacker news community. Please answer- what do you think needs to be done to bring more women into technology, programming, and CS related fields?
