Ep 330: Like Mother, Like Daughter: A STEM Story from India

In honor of the 10th anniversary of SWENext, this episode of Diverse brings a special mother-daughter conversation. Bharti B., operations manager at Keysight Technologies, reflects on what it was like to be one of the few women in her computer science classes growing up. Aavya B., who is a SWENext influencer as well as Bharti’s daughter, shares how she’s carrying that legacy forward by founding the first SWENext Club in India and pursuing her dream of becoming a biomedical engineer. In conversation with Sam East, Bharti and Aavya discuss how opportunities for girls in engineering have evolved, the power of role models, and the unique bond that comes from sharing a STEM passion across generations.
