Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
The high-tech industry does not look like the rest of California. There are very few African-Americans or Latinos working at tech companies.
A small but important step toward changing that is happening this weekend in Oakland. An event billed as a global hackathon will bring together young students of color with techies to mentor them.
Another effort to diversify the high-tech workforce is Project A Game. We head to East Oakland, where kids are learning how to make their own video games.
