I 100% want more women in tech so this is only a comment on the star wars posters side of the thing<p>making video games is&#x2F;requires programming so there&#x27;s bound to a be a large overlap in programmers who are interested in video games.<p>Sci-fi inspires lots of people to get into programming. From wanting to create R2-D2 and C3PO to wanting to create projected holograms, wanting to create tricorders, computers that can take voice commands, touch surfaces, fancy new interfaces, virtual reality, AI, and many other topics touched on in sci-fi that are all directly related to programming.<p>Sports are not directly related and do not directly inspire most jobs but sci-fi does directly inspire many programmers to program and probably many other STEM careers. video games also inspire many programmers to program since video games are programming.
