The Godmother of Silicon Valley: Film Screening and Live Q&A

Submitted by the Event Organizer

What if the roots of Silicon Valley’s culture weren’t written in code but taught in a classroom?

A new documentary short, The Godmother of Silicon Valley, reveals the quiet but profound influence of Esther Wojcicki, a trailblazing educator, journalist, and mother of tech leaders (Susan Wojcicki, YouTube / Google; Janet Wojcicki, UCSF; and, Anne Wojcicki, 23andMe). Through radical teaching methods that encouraged curiosity, independence, and resilience, Wojcicki helped cultivate a mindset that would ripple far beyond the campus and into the heart of global technology.

After the screening, a live Q&A will feature Esther Wojcicki and one of the filmmakers.

Documentary runtime: 37 minutes
