00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Hello, Marguerite. Thank you very much.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Thank you for organizing this and thank you, Silvia, for your intervention. For me it has been very inspirational.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So here we have a question and we have a volunteer. So please go ahead.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Hi, so this seems really interesting, so why do you think there isn't more women in technology?

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I think the reason why there are not a lot of women in technology is because...

You know, girls tend to be more, you know, whereas with boys, they're sort of taught to be confident.

11
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,480
but thought to be, okay, I have to do well in my life.

12
00:01:44,299 --> 00:01:48,239
So I think that's kind of, there's a bit of that.

13
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,159
And specifically in the STEM field,

14
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,819
I think there's a misconception that it's,
