Creating opportunities
Through a range of initiatives and partnerships, we’re helping young people discover a passion for tech and envision a future filled with possibility. Through our partnerships with Technolochicas, Girls Who Code, and NCWIT Aspirations in Computing, we’re carving new pathways to opportunity.

NCWIT Aspirations in Computing
These skills lead the way for innovative solutions to long-standing problems at national and local levels. Given that technology increasingly permeates every aspect of society, experience in computing and technology is in high demand by virtually every industry.
Diversity takes us all farther
