The mission is simple: To make tech more diverse and inclusive by supporting diverse career seekers and promoting inclusive practices for technologists and designers.
Inclusive and ethical topics are still niche in tech and design fields. We hope inclusive and ethical practices will become standard one day in the future. That's why Rita Lab targets tech and design beginners - the future.
There is a gap in tech and design education when it comes to inclusion and ethics. We're hoping to make strides in closing this gap by offering tech and design beginners a way to learn and practice inclusive and ethical methods. Along the way, members can count on the support of our community.
