Diversity and Inclusion
Shining a light on the brightest spots
ING.dk is one of Denmark's oldest news agencies - first launched in 1892(!) and focuses solely on news in the engineering world - hence it's name, "Ingeniøren" - the engineer. It also covers science and technology.
Majken and Vanessa work with many brilliant people in tech, science and engineering, and were surprised that these people's stories were not showing up in places like Ingeniøren. They decided that the best way to change this was to interview all the people they knew who worked within tech in different ways and include them in the blog. Ingeniøren was excited about this and gave them a blog, and Greater Spaces was born.
Articles which interviewed people in diverse technical backgrounds asked the same series of questions to each interviewee to explore the many answers to the questions, for example "What do you find exciting about technology right now?
