Now re-read it. Yes, that&#8217;s right, Marvel!<\/p>\n<p>The Raspberry Pi Foundation and Marvel, in association with the Ant-Man movie, have launched a competition in the US, the prizes for which include tickets for the Ant-Man premiere in California and also an engineering workshop at Disneyland. Ant-Man, of course, is all about how someone who is very small can make a difference. I guess they found a certain poetic satisfaction in teaming up with the tiny Raspberry Pi!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the Foundation says about the competition:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We\u2019re looking throughout the United States for girls ages 14-18 in grades 9-12 to create and share micro-technology-based DIY projects they have built using readily accessible and found materials. Upon completion of the contest, build instructions for the winning projects will be provided to a STEM-based girls program in the winners\u2019 home community. Each winner will have the opportunity to lead a workshop in building her project for the selected program in her community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/ant-man-micro-tech-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\">read more on their blog here<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ant-manchallenge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">visit the MicroTech Challenge website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>This competition, because of its high profile, is undoubtedly going to raise the long-running question of gender equality. By making it for girls only, it is clearly going down the lines of positive discrimination. There is going to be a lot of disappointed boys out there! However, we must see this positive discrimination in a wide context. There is a\u00a0<strong>lot<\/strong> of negative discrimination against girls and women in tech education and in the I.T. workplace so there is always going to be a need for positive discrimination to\u00a0re-balance the situation. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has made no secret of their opinion that\u00a0girls and women need more encouragement, and again, you could argue\u00a0for and against this.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;d be interested in hearing your thoughts on this in the comments!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the headline.
