We’re bridging the gap by connecting students, technologies, academia, and businesses to create an ecosystem of innovation and drive the change we need to see in tech.
Biases in design impact inclusivity and accessibility.
The field of STEM has historically been dominated by white males. This lack of diversity can perpetuate stereotypes and limit opportunities for underrepresented groups. Our mission focuses on young women of color, aiming to level the playing field by providing resources, education, and support to help them overcome systemic barriers.
Racial biases affect diversity in the tech workforce.
Biases in hiring limit access to underrepresented groups.
Within the field of technology are a host of specialized areas. Our programs let students learn the basics into specific concepts of technology. We aim to give students exposure to technology outside of traditional book learning with instructors and mentors who are relatable on a personal, interest, gender, and/or racial level. Whether our students want to explore technology as a career option or just want more understanding of how it integrates with other industries, our programs lets them explore that.
