The mission of Girls in Technology is to support academic and community
programs that engage school-age girls in technology and computer-related
learning. This support can take many forms such as providing mentors
and speakers, assisting with program and curriculum development, providing
financial support, and collaborating with strategic partners to expose school-age
girls to technology. We especially target underserved and disadvantaged
communities.
Currently, GIT furthers its mission by supporting summer
camps and after school computer clubs for girls that provide technology/math/science
enrichment and promote leadership skills. To further the mission, GIT launched
the WIT Education Foundation (WITEF), a tax-exempt,
501(c)(3) charitable foundation focused on Girls in Technology and educational
programs.
