Last week on GDL Presents: Women Techmakers, we kicked off the series kicked off with a tour of the Kiva API from Chairwoman Julie Hanna, then followed with Code for America’s Jennifer Pahlka explaining her "Peace Corps for Geeks" and solving civic problems with technology. Sasha Laundy of Codecademy introduced us to scalable ways to teach the world to code, and the series culminated with Kim Polese – the first Product Manager for Java – sharing the value of open source technology for making innovation universally accessible.
