Building a more
Inclusive, Equitable, Diversetech ecosystem
Why?
Because the future of innovation depends on all of us.
57% of all college degrees are awarded to women...
...but only 2% are in computer science and tech disciplines.
“Our first line of defense against AI-related issues of bias, fairness, and ethics is the diversity of the people who are in the room and at the table where the design, development, deployment and policy decisions are being made.”
How?
We deliver innovative programs that break down barriers so women and non-binary students can break through in tech education and tech careers.
“All these doors opened up for me, and it was kind of a domino effect...”
