Black and Latino students earn 18% of computer science degrees but represent only 5% of the tech workforce at leading companies. Media coverage is crucial in highlighting this disparity and industry efforts to foster diversity.

New America CA Fellow Laura Weidman Powers, co-founder and CEO of CODE2040, will moderate a discussion.

She will ask leading journalists Ellen Huet (Bloomberg), Jessica Guynn (USA Today), and Megan Rose Dickey (TechCrunch) about their role, coverage choices, and the future of diversity in tech.

The 1980s ushered in an era of "neo-liberal" economics, granting markets and corporations vast power, which led to escalating wealth inequality. A new global movement, Community Wealth Building, is now pushing back, fighting to democratize the economy and build wealth for the many. This movement is taking hold in diverse locations worldwide.

Renowned journalist Laura Flanders, host of The Laura Flanders Show on public television, will explain why this growing movement for a democratic economy may be the most important economic movement of our time. Flanders is an Izzy-Award winning independent journalist and bestselling author.

At TEDxBerlin 2012, Laurence Kemball-Cook presented "Turning Our Cities Into Human Power Plants." His talk introduced Pavegen, an innovative technology that embeds power-generating systems directly into pavement.

Pavegen harnesses the energy from human footsteps, converting it into usable power. This groundbreaking approach transforms walking into a viable alternative energy source, effectively turning urban environments into sustainable power generators.

Globally, three billion people rely on inefficient open fires for daily cooking, primarily burning firewood. This practice leads to significant health, safety, and deforestation issues.

In late 2014, research by Fabio Parigi, Climate Healers, and the University of Iowa in Rajasthan, India, led to the Mewar Angithi. This $1 insert converts traditional inefficient cookstoves into high-efficiency units.

Since 2014, the Mewar Angithi has positively impacted over 25,000 lives in India, Ghana, and Kenya, a testament to the work of Dr. Fabio Parigi, Dr. Sailesh Rao, and Professor H.S. Udaykumar. This initiative was highlighted in a TEDx talk. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
