TECHBRIDGE GIRLS
Techbridge Girls (TBG) is reshaping STEM education by creating transformative opportunities for BIPOC girls* from marginalized communities. Through their work, they empower out-of-school-time (OST) STEM educators and professionals to become equity advocates, equipping them with comprehensive training, innovative curricula, and tools designed to foster access, belonging, and persistence in STEM fields.
Their vision is bold and clear: to build equitable STEM experiences that celebrate, uplift, and center Black, Indigenous, and all girls* of color. In partnership with TechBridge Girls, we strive to ensure that these future changemakers not only participate in the STEM revolution but lead it, bringing diverse perspectives and groundbreaking innovation to the forefront.
