Who We Are

We are a technology education nonprofit exposing young women of color ages 8-22 to multidisciplinary programs to pursue a career in tech. Through our discover, pursue, and succeed pipeline students explore all aspects of computer science and information technology. By supporting broader career options and encouraging all technical interests, we provide the support network they need to pursue and excel in technology-related careers.

Technical Concepts

Programs

Available Programs

'IT Girl' Clubs

Monthly in-school programming for K-12 schools, focusing on providing young women of color with recurring access to computer science concepts. Students grow their knowledge on one concept through project based learning exercises.

'IT Girl' Summer Series

A summer long digital and hands-on community learning camp for girls of color ages 8-16 to learn in-demand technology concepts. June and July, students gain knowledge of a technical concept(s), that allows them to apply those skills to create projects for their portfolios.

'IT Girl' Community Events

Partner Programs create long-term relationships with community organizations.  By embedding technology education into trusted community spaces, these partnerships create opportunities to reach a broader target audience, furthering our mission of increasing representation in tech.
