Techbridge Girls

Programs: After-school and summer programstechbridge's after-school and summer programs inspire girls in grades 5-12 from underserved communities in science, technology and engineering, providing girls with hands-on projects and career exploration through our curriculum, role models, and field trips. Techbridge's holistic approach gives girls a strong support network through trainings and resources offered to teachers, families, and role models. Techbridge served 14 schools in the bay area, and began launching operations in greater seattle. Evaluation results show that 96% of girls think engineering is a good career for women and 98% of parents cite an increase in their daughter's confidence in stem.

Techbridge offers science and engineering programs-in-a-box to girl scout councils that include leaders' guides, materials, and activities to engage girls in hands-on activities and career exploration. A train-the-trainer model builds capacity for science and engineering instruction at each of the partner councils. Since its inception, over 15,000 girls at 17 girl scout councils have been reached through the project.
