👩💻 Imagine meeting your future self during a coding marathon—not in a sci-fi flick, but IRL! CGTN's Liu Yitong did exactly that during a routine programming challenge, sparking a viral conversation about women in tech. 💥
In a twist straight out of Doctor Who, Liu’s ‘future self’ urged her to confront biases holding women back in coding. 🌟 ‘Why are we still debating if women belong in tech?’ Liu asked, channeling the confidence of her time-hopping counterpart. Her story has since inspired a wave of TikTok tutorials and coding bootcamp sign-ups led by Gen-Z women. ✨
Stats show women make up just 22% of AI roles globally—a gap Liu’s journey aims to close. ‘The future isn’t about gender—it’s about code changing the world,’ she declared. 🚀 From debugging stereotypes to mentoring girls in robotics clubs, Liu’s mission is clear: rewrite the tech narrative, one line at a time. 👩🔬
