TechShe Sparks: Women Rocking Deep Tech

Hello, my fellow tech dreamers! throws virtual confetti. Welcome back to TechSheThink, your cosy corner for exploring deep tech—AI, biotech, quantum computing, and all the sci-fi stuff that makes your brain do a happy dance.  I’m TechSheThink, your hype-woman-in-training, and today we’re dishing on something juicier than a rom-com plot twist: how women are giving deep tech an ethical glow-up.  Yep, we’re talking about the badass ladies making sure AI doesn’t ghost marginalised groups, biotech doesn’t play favourites, and quantum tech doesn’t turn into a dystopian movie trope.  Grab your fave pastel mug, settle in, and let’s unpack why this glow-up is the ultimate power move for women in tech—and how you can join the squad. What’s an Ethical Glow-Up, Anyway? Okay, let’s break it down like we’re chatting over brunch.  Deep tech—those mind-bending fields like AI, gene editing, or brain-computer interfaces— is changing the world faster than you can say “new iPhone drop ....

Hey there, future tech trailblazer! waves enthusiastically. Welcome to TechSheThink, where we’re all about cheering you on as you dive into the wild, wonderful world of deep tech—think AI, quantum computing, biotech, and other sci-fi-level stuff.  I’m TechSheThinker, your fellow beginner in this epic adventure, and let me tell you: I’ve had moments where my brain screamed, “You? In DEEP TECH?  Girl, you must’ve misread the invite!” Spoiler alert: that’s just impostor syndrome trying to crash the party. And today, we’re kicking it out with some mindset hacks to help you go from “I don’t belong” to “Watch me OWN this neural network.” Ready? Grab a coffee (or a glittery water bottle—live your truth), and let’s do this. The Impostor Syndrome Struggle Is Real (But So Is Your Brilliance ). Picture this: you’re scrolling X, and someone’s casually tweeting about their latest quantum algorithm like it’s a Tuesday grocery list. Meanwhile, you’re Googling “What even IS quant...

Let’s get one thing straight: women in deep tech don’t just have potential—we are the processors , the quantum core, the neural net of innovation. If potential was the teaser trailer, then welcome to the full feature film. Last month, we talked about the possibilities.  Today, we’re flipping the script. Because the truth is, we’re already here—writing code, designing AI chips, building biotech startups in our kitchen between espresso shots and Spotify ads, and casually making science fiction reality. The Myth of “Not Yet” You’ve heard it before: “Women have so much potential in tech.” Cute. Like we’re sitting on a shelf like unopened action figures, waiting for someone to pick us for the job. Spoiler alert: we’re not waiting. We’re already leading AI research labs, building sustainable computing frameworks, and rewriting the story of quantum computing with eyeliner on fleek and data sets that bite. This isn’t potential. This is presence. And presence, my friend, is powe...

Hey, lady!  Yeah, You—the one wondering if you accidentally wandered into the wrong universe by clicking “apply” on that tech job or googling “what the heck is a server” for the fifth time this week.  Maybe you’re staring at a laptop screen that’s judging you with its blankness. Or maybe you’re thinking, “I’m not some tech wizard".  I just like solving puzzles, organizing my life with pastel highlighters, and maybe bingeing a rom-com or two. ”Well, buckle up, because you?  You’re exactly the kind of magic tech needs. Here’s the tea: you don’t have to have a PhD or a secret handshake to belong here.  Nobody does!  Tech isn’t about knowing every single thing—it’s about being nosy enough to figure it out. It’s like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with half the instructions missing.  You poke around, you break something, you laugh, and then—poof!—you’ve got a bookshelf.  Or, you know, an app.  Same diff and here’s the coolest part: ...

       Picture this: You walk into a tech conference. Lanyard on. Confidence loaded. CV is stronger than black coffee. And the first question you get is: “Oh hey, are you with HR?” Buckle up, buttercup. This is womanhood in software development, and no, there’s no tutorial level. Today, we’re diving deep into the awkward, oddly specific, and occasionally hilarious world of being a woman in tech. Inspired by Elaine Richardson’s brilliant piece , this blog is part rant, part love letter, and fully powered by caffeine and righteous indignation. 📚 Once Upon a Patriarchy: “Girls Can’t Do Physics” Elaine's journey into tech began with a school administrator telling her she couldn’t take physics because she had netball during that time. Yes, really. Apparently, in the 80s, sports bras outranked STEM. But she persisted (of course she did). That moment echoes something all of us in tech have felt: that weird cultural whiff of “you don’t belong here.” Spoiler: she totally ...

Listen up, tech fiends—April 2025 is serving up a buffet of shiny new trends, and I’ve got the scoop hotter than a laptop after a 12-hour Netflix binge. The future’s knocking, and it’s brought robots, AI overlords, and gadgets that make my inner geek squeal like a caffeinated hamster. Let’s dive into the madness, shall we? 1. Agentic AI: Your New Bossy Bestie Agentic AI is basically Skynet’s chill cousin—smart enough to run your life but too polite to start a robot uprising. These brainy bots are popping up everywhere, making decisions like “Hey, let’s reroute this delivery truck” or “Maybe don’t prescribe Dave penicillin, he’s allergic.” I asked one to organize my sock drawer, and now it’s sending me passive-aggressive emails about my laundry habits. Efficiency’s up 30%, they say—my dignity, not so much. 2. Consumer Tech Sales: AR Glasses and Solar-Powered Chaos If you haven’t blown your paycheck on tech this month, are you even living? AR glasses are the new hotness—think...
