Robyn, one of Sweden's most successful exports and all-round technology junkie is launching a festival specifically to encourage more women to work in technology.
Tekla will be a one-day festival in Stockholm where 11-18 year old girls can go along, attend workshops, talks and get careers advice.
The festival is being launched in collaboration with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. The plan is to encourage more women to enter the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as just 34 per cent of KTH's new students are female.
