Our final week will focus on race and ethnicity. We'll hear from a panel of programmers who have each taken their own path into software development. We will hear from them about how their ethnic background has affected that journey.

Panel Members:

Ray Hightower, founder and President of WisdomGroup

Micah Martin, founder and CTO of 8th Light

Li Hsuan Lung, 8th Light Software Craftsman

In week 2 of Gender, Ethnicity, and Programming, we'll be joined by several women programmers in a panel discussion. We will explore the panel members backgrounds, and learn about way in which men and women approach programming differently.

Panel Members:

Sarah Gray, co-founder of Mercury App

Francesca Slade, engineer at Google

Stephanie Briones, 8th Light's first female Craftsman

Sue Kim, an 8th Light resident apprentice
