TechGYRLS

THE NEED:

The YWCA TechGYRLS program was developed in response to the widening gender gap in exposure to and interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for girls. Studies show that while girls and boys have the same aptitude for technology and sciences, by the time girls reach middle school their participation in STEM subjects begin to drop and continues to decline through high school. This is especially true for girls in low income and underserved communities.

OUR GOAL:

TechGYRLS provides middle school girls with opportunities for intensive exploration of technology. This highly successful and fun program broadens girls' knowledge and helps them develop confidence in using technology. Furthermore, it helps girls envision career opportunities in technology that await them. TechGYRLS is a 12-week after-school school program, and “Camp TNT” is offered every summer and is a four-week summer day camp, each week with a different theme that incorporates life skills, recreation and technology.
