TechGirls connects and supports the next generation of women leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by providing them access and opportunities to advance their skills and pursue their dreams.
The core of the program is a three-week experience in the United States. TechGirls participate in an interactive technology and computer camp (with US Girls), join a tech company for a day of job shadowing, and participate in community service initiatives. The TechGirls programming yields a multiplier effect – as the benefits of the exchange accrue not only to the TechGirls themselves, but multiply out to the wider community.
U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs took the initiative to train young girls. Participants will be attending international conferences and workshops. These conferences will provide knowledge about the high performance of efficient leaders, how to form productive teams and different leadership styles.
