Open Source Summit North America 2017

Good things happen when we come together to create something new. Connections are formed. Discoveries are made. Fresh ideas emerge. And obstacles are overcome. That's why Red Hat believes that creative collaboration is the best way to make the world a better place — and to forge lasting friendships.

Enter CO.LAB – a program designed to introduce middle school girls from underserved areas to the principles of open source -- and to a world of technology and collaboration that they may not have otherwise considered.

Collaboration is a powerful driver of innovation and discovery, and open source methodology is a key part of STEAM education. John will talk about the details of the CO.LAB program and how through the program, Red Hat is empowering young girls with collaborative skills that will help them succeed in their pursuit of science, technology, engineering and math careers.
