Long before Softtek was named the Mavericks’ Official International Technology Sponsor, executives from both organizations were huddled around a table to strategize a partnership that, of course, furthered business objectives but more importantly, was established with purpose. And that purpose took center stage during the first-ever GEM Coding & Hooping Camp.
As part of her welcoming remarks to the small group of girls at the Softtek offices in Addison, Betty Cardiel, Softtek’s AI governance lead, reminded the young ladies their creativity and ideas belong in technology.
“There is a myth that girls aren’t good at coding, or we can’t do math, or play sports, or that we’re not good at engineering,” Cardiel said.
