Geek Gurl Diaries

I met the lovely Miss Philbin at a Girl Geek Dinners event.

Carrie-Anne Philbin is an ICT teacher who supports her students with extra activties and coursework online - making full use of modern technology.

She's recently set up an initiative called Geek Gurl Diaries with which she aims to inspire women into technology jobs. She came along and interviewed the female developers at my company Softwire and we've had more female applicants as a result, with some citing the video as "inspirational".

Carrie-Anne has been nominated for a Digital Heroes award for her work - if you like the sound of what she's doing, please take a moment to vote for her at http://www.talktalk.co.uk/digitalheroes/region.php?region=london.
