Outreach

Help Students Succeed

Through community outreach initiatives, we work to get more girls interested in technology — whether that’s introducing them to it for the first time or igniting their existing passion — through coding camps, workshops, internship opportunities, scholarships and more.

WiTT gives back to our local community through outreach projects and provides volunteer opportunities for members. We support outreach initiatives such as coding camps, mentor opportunities, community involvement, and more through both financial and volunteering commitments.

Girls who Tech

Girls Who Tech is a three day program designed to inform girls about the technology-driven changes shaping our future and inspire them to be a part of that change. Participants will discuss key transformational technologies and learn about the skills and jobs of the future to envision the possibilities in the world of tomorrow.
