Writing Interview Invitations

Interview invitation for the family groupchat (usa):

Hi everyone

I am currently working on a project for school about women in IT.
Since our class has to collaborate with people from different countries I was
wondering if any of you were up to do an interview with me.

We could either zoom together or I could send you the questions and you'd be able to send
me the audio recordings with your answers. Either way I will just use the audio to create a
little podcast to showcase my project.

xoxo

We covered memories about my grandma and ideas on who to talk to about women in IT. Additionally, we covered my future career options (would I work in IT? would I even be interested? If so, what interests me? )

My grannie - one of the first women to code

How did women disappear from the IT industry? Most importantly how can we bring them back?

This is the main question of my thesis. When you think of the IT industry, you think of a male dominated field. But did you know that coding used to be a woman's business? Sadly, over the years the idea that computers are for men has become a narrative.
