Newnham College and the Wo+Men’s Leadership Centre at Cambridge Judge Business School are co-host the Women in Tech Challenge in collaboration with prominent global companies. This workshops offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity to work closely with senior executives from participating companies on real world challenges facing these companies. The participating companies open up their high-impact training and leadership principles in this challenge to help female graduate students, post docs and research associates at the University of Cambridge build the skills necessary to get into tech careers.
Amazon Think Big Challenge
Female graduate students from across the University of Cambridge interested in embarking on technology careers came together on 23 October 2017 to compete in the Amazon Think Big Challenge. The participants came from a wide range of backgrounds, including business, engineering, biotechnology and medicine.
The event, organised by the Wo+Men’s Leadership Centre at Cambridge Judge Business School, Newnham College and Amazon, invited students from STEM disciplines at the University of Cambridge and current students at Cambridge Judge and asked them to work on a real and current business challenge facing Amazon’s customers. The team members collectively formulated ideas and crafted a solution by combining technology and business aspects, facilitated by top executives from Amazon.
The Microsoft Hackathon Challenge
Female graduate students from across the University of Cambridge interested in embarking on technology careers came together on 16 January 2017 to compete in a Hackathon Challenge. The participants came from a wide range of backgrounds, including business, engineering, bio-technology and medicine.
The event, organised by the Wo+Men’s Leadership Centre at Cambridge Judge Business School, Newnham College and Microsoft, invited students from STEM disciplines at the University of Cambridge and current students at Cambridge Judge and asked them to come up with creative ideas to tackle technological challenges. During the day students worked in teams to offer new solutions on how Microsoft could improve customer engagement in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The teams brainstormed some ideas and then worked on recommendations combining technology and business aspects, with help from top executives from Microsoft.
Unconscious Bias workshop
As part of the Cambridge MBA orientation, students take part in a workshop on unconscious bias, led by Sucheta Nadkarni, Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management and Director of The Wo+Men’s Leadership Centre at the School.
In this practical session, students are asked to examine their own prejudices, and consider how challenging their unconscious biases could make them a more capable leader and successful in their careers.
