Siobhan Baker of Coding Black Females discusses the opportunities for women in STEM
EP73: In this podcast we talk about:
- Leadership Team for Coding Black Females (largest community of black women in tech in the UK);
- Mentoring and education events for children and young people with Inspiring the Future and STEM Learning UK; and
- Coming from an Arts background I'm curiously engaged in the move to bring the Arts to STEM.
About Siobhan Baker:
Siobhan Baker first entered the tech industry in 2017, as the Community Manager for a social enterprise aiming to get more women into careers in tech. Whilst there she scaled their community offering to almost triple its size - delivering over 200 activities across the UK including free coding courses.
She left this role in 2018 to pursue a coding internship through Black Girl Tech and 8th Light, which was instrumental in preparing her for her current role (still with 8th Light) in full-stack software development.
In her own time, Siobhan is part of the Leadership Team for Coding Black Females, a
non-profit which supports Black females aspiring to and/or working in tech. She is also actively questioning how to blend her interests in art, philosophy, and coding.
When not doing that, she’s been escaping to her local park and woodlands for long solo walks in an attempt to combat her lockdown weight gain
