##Review about article "At Harvey Mudd College, the Ratio of Women in Computer Science Increased from 10% to 40% in 5 Years"
I think that it's a great idea to do things to bring more members of minorities to the tech industry. The only effective way
to do it is to make it more attractive and provide a welcoming atmosphere for whoever we want to open it to. In the case of
women, promoving more team work as they are more gregarious in general, creating a female friendly community and showing the
social value of the project can definitely work. Another factor that is a great tool offering mentor opportunities with other
females as a role model and a person to reach that can better describe and understand how it feels being a woman in a
predominant male sector. Supporting groups such as "Women Who Code" or "Girl Develop It" are also crucial to build the sense
that women in tech is not an exception anymore but the norm.
