To what extent do you think early exposure to computing is important in getting women involved in computer vision, robotics and embedded systems?
Early exposure gives students a great head start, and can definitely speed up the process of getting women involved in computer vision, robotics, and embedded systems. However, often times we look at the benefits exposure only in terms of early exposure. I believe that at any age we should empower women to get involved in perceptual robotics fields, and exposure in unconventional ways--be that social media, scientific publications, and professional and academic conferences and networking--can be just as important for capturing the demographic of capable and interested women who may not have had that early exposure. It's never too late! Computer vision, robotics and embedded systems are some of the core components of modern IOT systems that can be used to solve a multitude of real world problems, especially those serving women. Thus, exposing women in related engineering fields, or any scientific field for that matter, to these principles consistently and actively at every age can not only get us involved in developing new methods at the core of this field, but also help us be a part of its integration and deployment in new, underserved markets.
