Silicon Alley, Women Entrepreneurship and Diversity in Coding
The New York tech scene, often called "Silicon Alley," hosts various initiatives like "In Good Company" and "Girls Who Code" at 28 West 23rd Street. These programs emphasize diversity, featuring stories of students from Senegal and Brooklyn learning to code in multiple languages. However, the heavy involvement of venture capital firms and advertising platforms like AppNexus suggests a commercial undercurrent to these social initiatives.
