Introducing Google's 2013 We Are GWE Summit!
August 16, 2013
Google’s proud of the contributions women are making to technology and aspires to cultivate the next generation of technical women leaders. On July 12th, 2013, Google hosted the inaugural Google Women in Engineering (GWE) “We Are GWE” Intern Summit at its Mountain View headquarters. Over 170 female interns joined together hailing from 13 of our North American offices, and representing a variety of Google teams like Android, Search, YouTube, Google[x], and many more.
The event kicked off with a Leadership Techmakers panel consisting of some of the top female engineers from across the organization, including VP’s and engineering directors. They shared career advice through stories of trials and tribulations and spent the morning connecting with a room full of the next generation of female techmakers. Shoulder to shoulder participants realized that together they could make a difference.
Interns spent the day in talks with Googlers who, like the participants, were interns who have moved into permanent roles. They had the opportunity to discuss and share ideas on topics like graduate level education, challenges facing female engineers, and how they can have a positive impact on a number of women in tech. United by their passion, abilities, and ambition, the Googlers were emblematic of the many women changing the field of computer science today.
In true Google fashion, the day wouldn’t be over until the group got to let loose and hangout! The day of great connections, impactful topics, and a lot of fun concluded with a large garden party on the GooglePlex patio.
The interns, now armed with a network and knowledge will return to their college campuses inspired to be leaders in engineering, on campus, and in their own communities. We hope that they will continue to contribute to this annual summit as returning interns, full-time employees and role models for the next generation of Google Women in Engineering.
Of course, Google’s commitment to women in technology extends beyond far beyond our internship program. Learn more by visiting
