How would one combat the lack of diversity in the STEM field?

Hi, I'm very interested in the tech field namely computer science. But there's not many women or people of color in the industry. I find this a bit discouraging but I'm determined to make this my career. #computer-science #computer-software #women-in-stem #computer-games
