We're sharing some "Oaklandish" thinking at the
ASU-GSV Summit
in San Diego this week, where Loudspeaker Films' Founder Kelly Amis will do a Q&A after a screening of our award-winning short film Code Oakland (at 3:00 pm on W
ednesday).
This huge annual event brings together a multitude of innovators, entrepreneurs, educators and others
to discuss, debate and shape the
future of education and technology
. Check out the impressive list of speakers, which includes Bill Gates, Common, Sal Khan and one of Code Oakland's stars, Kimberly Bryant.
Code Oakland addresses lack of diversity within the tech sector and shows how Bay Area social entrepreneurs are working to change that by preparing students of color to not just join but become leaders of the tech industry. Watch the trailer here.
Tickets for this conference are sold-out, but consider organizing your own screening of
Code Oakland and tackling tech equity in your community.
