Techbridge Girls

Mission

We envision a society where all girls* can achieve the economic promise of a quality STEM education and prosperous STEM career.

*TBG welcomes all girls and gender-expansive youth! We provide space for cis girls and trans youth, gender non-conforming and/or non-binary youth who experience(d) girlhood as a part of their journey.

Description

We invite you to GiveBIG with us today, because at Techbridge Girls, we're not just leveling the STEM playing field -- we're transforming it.

We are reengineering the way STEM is taught in order to center our girls' brilliance and potential, with an emphasis on engaging BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) youth.

Our girls* attend Title I public schools across Washington state, including schools near Seattle's hub of technological innovation offering high-paying STEM careers that can provide girls with better life chances and economic mobility -- and yet, our girls are still locked out of STEM career paths.

Unlike many STEM programs, our strategies for addressing persistent gaps in STEM education place girls of color at the center of the solution. Our high-quality, girl-centered STEM programs increase girls' access, belonging, and persistence on STEM pathways. Our curriculum also highlights our girls' own lineage of long-time scientific exploration and contributions to the STEM field.

Your donation will expand access to STEM opportunities for Pacific Northwest girls, like first-generation student and Techbridge Girls alumna Paula, who says that our programs "not only allowed me to grow a passion for computer science, but helped me gain the confidence I have today."

Recognition

Your impact will be doubled thanks to the generosity of two donors, who are matching each gift made during GiveBIG dollar for dollar up to $5,000.
