Kamilla Fredriksen Project Manager TENK-Tech-Network for Women

For Kamilla, choosing to study Computer Science felt as natural as anything else, but when she started at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) she figured that that was not the case for everyone else. This motived her to approach a position as project coordinator for the girl project Ada (Jenteprosjektet Ada) at NTNU, which strategically works towards increasing the number of females who graduate with a master’s degree within STEM. It was during her years at NTNU that she realized how slow the development went and that one had to approach the girls at an earlier stage in order to affect their interests towards technology. This resulted in her gathering up with TENK (The Tech Network for Women) where she helped starting up the TENK Tech Camp in 2017, a technology camp for girls in the age of 13-18 years old.

Even though she graduated as a computer scientist only a year ago she has developed the first version of #ShesGotThis digital platform EqualityCheck for business, she is now a full-stack developer working as an IT-consultant, and she is the project manager for the TENK Tech Camp.
