Mission

Technology is changing our world. Women only hold about 25% of the computing related jobs in the tech industry, while minorities and the underprivileged only account for 10%. Our goal is to target the root cause of the gender gap by exposing and educating girls about technology and computing at a young age.

What We Do

Teaching young girls about technology and programing in a fun, tangible way—building and programming LEGO robots.

Hosting interactive presentations, family Fairs, field trips, classes, and EXPOs to promote girls’ interests in STEM.

Free STEM book giveaway to underprivileged communities
