Technology has the highest dropout level for women compared to any other industry. Matt and Matt are accompanied by the lead angular developer at Bitovi, founder, and president of Kansas City Women in Technology, Jennifer Wadella.

Kansas City Women in Technology is a grassroots organization with the aim of increasing the number of women in the technology industry in Kansas City. It was founded in 2013 and provides 3 primary ways to support women who are curious about careers in technology.

The first method is through encouragement for young girls, which tries to open up the conversation of women having careers in technology. The second method is to provide mentors for these young women that they might have someone to help them along. Lastly, they host networking opportunities for current professionals with activities such as Coding & Cocktails or Coding & Cupcakes. Kansas City Women in Technology wants to break through current gender trends and blaze a trail for women to succeed in the technology industry.
