Super Women is a documentary series from two modern creatives making kickass films about kickass women. This is the extended podcast channel featuring the full interviews in podcast form. In this episode we explore the world of tech interviewing Amali De Alwis MBE FRSA, former CEO of Code First Girls and now head of startups at Microsoft. Code First Girls has taught more women to code than the British University system and they are on track to smash their target of teaching 20,000 women to code for free by the end of 2020. The Super Women platform was launched in 2019 and co-founded by BBC broadcaster Georgie Rogers and documentary film director Alice Smith. The duo joined forces with a crew of aspiring female filmmakers to create real opportunities for women in the industry and address gender imbalance behind the camera. From Elspeth Beard, the first British woman to motorcycle around the world in the 1980s (at the age of 23), to an award-winning record producer Catherine Marks and jewellery designer and independent business owner Tessa Metcalfe the films and podcasts in Series One highlight what it took for women to blaze the trail across business, music, motorsports, politics, tech and culture to realise their dreams in the most extraordinary ways.
