Who Are Tech Girlz?
The IT field is the nation’s largest industry,
comprised of over 3.6 million workers.
Of these, 75% of the workers are men.
In this male-dominated field,
where have all the women gone?
Startling research shows that although there are many tech-savvy young girls in America, many are opting out of pursuing a career in technology, making women the minority in the IT field.
Well ladies, it’s time to represent!
TechGirlz is here to inspire young women to shatter the statistics. Our aim is to help adolescent girls understand that a future in technology does not necessarily equate to ‘a boring computer job,’ but instead transcends the cubicle into nearly every field imaginable. By encouraging women to participate in science and technology today, as well as providing a solid foundation of peers, mentors, and positive role models, we hope to spark innovation, exhilaration, and motivation in young women to become tomorrow’s tech leaders.
