How Ruthe Farmer is Redesigning the Pipeline—and the Payoff—for STEM Students
Ruthe Farmer is a force of nature in the fight for tech equity. She served in the Obama White House as the Senior Policy Advisor for Tech Inclusion, helped launch the national CSforAll movement, and created programs that have brought thousands of girls and underrepresented students into computer science. Today, she's the founder of the Last Mile Education Fund, an audacious initiative that gives financial lifelines to low-income students on the verge of graduating with STEM degrees.
This conversation with the Innovating Education Podcast is unfiltered, urgent, and packed with real stories—like not having a laptop, bus fare to an internship, or stable housing. She shares real stories, hard truths, and radically practical solutions. No fluff—just strategy, impact, and the kind of innovation that changes lives.
