Masterclass Recap: Beverly Clarke MBE – Shares Proven Strategies to Empower Tomorrow’s Tech Leaders
I recently had a great chat with Beverly Clarke, MBE, and let me tell you – this woman is a true powerhouse! We looked at some really important topics, like how we can support the next wave of technology leaders and how to bridge the digital divide. Spoiler alert: Beverly’s insights were not only eye-opening, but also totally actionable for anyone passionate about making a difference.
Beverly’s commitment to making technology accessible and equitable is evident in everything she does. From her books to her advocacy work, she’s leading the charge to create a future where technology is a tool for empowerment, not another barrier.
Here’s what I remember from our conversation:
- Cultivating the next generation of technology pioneers
Beverly talked about the importance of teaching young people the skills they need to become technology leaders. And no, it’s not just about learning to code (although that’s cool, too). It’s about creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. “Go forth and consider how tech is going to support you in whatever field you go into,” she said. Love that mindset! - There is still a digital divide, and it’s a big deal
It’s a fact that not all people have equal access to technology. Whether it is putting devices in kids’ hands or making sure they have reliable internet, the work isn’t done until everyone has a fair chance. - Making Education a Gateway, Not a Gatekeeper
The best part of Beverly’s presentation is how she inspires students to see technology as a tool to create change. With her help, young minds can connect the dots between learning tech and making a difference. - Representation Really Matters
Beverly also discussed why it’s so important for kids to see themselves in their role models. It sparks something in young people when they see leaders from similar backgrounds. And honestly, seeing Beverly do her thing is proof that representation changes lives.
