区块链中的女性：英国活动提供教育机会和热情的环境

我们需要更多的女性参与区块链，为教育机会提供一个受欢迎的环境是一个很好的起点。

A recent study by the World Economic Forum found that women make up only 28% of the global tech workforce. This lack of representation is even more pronounced in emerging fields like blockchain, where women are estimated to hold less than 10% of roles.

世界经济论坛最近的一项研究发现，女性仅占全球科技劳动力的 28%。这种代表性的缺乏在区块链等新兴领域更为明显，据估计女性在这些领域所占职位不到 10%。

To address this issue, a number of initiatives are being launched to encourage more women to enter the tech field and to provide them with the support and resources they need to succeed.

为了解决这个问题，正在发起一系列举措，鼓励更多女性进入科技领域，并为她们提供成功所需的支持和资源。

One such initiative is the Women in Tech Week, which was held in the United Kingdom for the first time in October. The event featured a variety of in-person and virtual events across the country, focusing on education, career development, and networking.

其中一项举措是“女性科技周”，该活动于 10 月首次在英国举办。该活动在全国范围内举办了各种现场和虚拟活动，重点关注教育、职业发展和网络。

The Block Dojo was one of the partners for Women in Tech Week, and they hosted an in-person Blockchain Building 101 Session on October 8. The session was designed to provide women with a basic understanding of blockchain technology and its applications.

The Block Dojo 是女性科技周的合作伙伴之一，他们于 10 月 8 日主办了现场区块链 Building 101 会议。该会议旨在让女性对区块链技术及其应用有基本的了解。

“When the team behind the inaugural Women in Tech Week reached out to us to become a partner and run a skills session to help bridge the tech gap facing women in the U.K., we jumped at the chance,” Cait Pilkington, Block Dojo Dealflow Manager, told TechCrunch.

Block Dojo Dealflow 经理 Cait Pilkington 表示：“当首届女性科技周背后的团队联系我们，希望成为合作伙伴并举办技能课程，以帮助缩小英国女性面临的技术差距时，我们抓住了这个机会。” ，告诉 TechCrunch。

“The tech space, and particularly Web3, is heavily dominated by men, and it can seem intimidating for women trying to break into the space or build a career within it,” she said.

“科技领域，尤其是 Web3，在很大程度上由男性主导，对于试图进入该领域或在其中建立职业生涯的女性来说，这似乎令人生畏，”她说。

The Block Dojo program is a global venture builder with a special focus on blockchain and future tech. According to Pilkington, the program strives to make access to technology and the space, in general, more inviting to women.

Block Dojo 计划是一个全球风险投资项目，特别关注区块链和未来技术。皮尔金顿表示，该计划致力于让女性更容易获得技术和空间。

“We know that innovation is bred through diversity of thought. Increasing this diversity within the space introduces exciting new ideas and ways of doing things, which only improves things for everyone.”

“我们知道创新是通过思想的多样性孕育的。增加空间内的多样性引入了令人兴奋的新想法和做事方式，这只会改善每个人的情况。”

The Blockchain Building 101 Session was held at Block Dojo's London HQ and provided a “safe space” to introduce women to the basics of blockchain technology with hands-on activities and an engaging presenter.

Blockchain Building 101 会议在 Block Dojo 的伦敦总部举行，提供了一个“安全空间”，通过实践活动和引人入胜的演讲者向女性介绍区块链技术的基础知识。

The session was led by Priyatham Varma, an in-house blockchain and AI expert at Block Dojo. According to Pilkington, Varma made understanding blockchain at the simplest level fun and easy.

该会议由 Block Dojo 内部区块链和人工智能专家 Priyatham Varma 主持。根据 Pilkington 的说法，Varma 让最简单的层面上的区块链理解变得有趣和简单。

“The session taught attendees the basics of building a block, validating, mining, smart contracts and tokens,” she said.

“会议向与会者教授了构建区块、验证、挖掘、智能合约和代币的基础知识，”她说。

The attendees were also keen to discuss real-world applications of blockchain, which was a welcomed outcome for the Block Dojo team.

与会者还热衷于讨论区块链的实际应用，这对 Block Dojo 团队来说是一个受欢迎的结果。

“We know how important it is to improve opportunities for female founders, and we’ve been actively making efforts to become more visible in female communities to ensure the next unicorn isn’t missed due to limited access,” Pilkington said.

皮尔金顿说：“我们知道增加女性创始人的机会有多么重要，我们一直在积极努力提高女性社区的知名度，以确保不会因准入有限而错过下一个独角兽。”

“We're so pleased with our progress on this, and our current cohort, Cohort 9, is 50/50 female-founded to male-founded companies. We're aiming to continue this trajectory and ensure we remain accessible to female founders moving forward.”

“我们对在这方面取得的进展感到非常满意，我们目前的第 9 组公司中，女性创办的公司与男性创办的公司比例为 50/50。我们的目标是继续这一轨迹，并确保女性创始人能够继续前进。”
