At TechGirlz, we are committed to inspiring the next generation of tech-savvy girls. Our program, which is part of the CompTIA Spark nonprofit and social impact arm, offers free, interactive “TechShopz” led by industry professionals, community leaders, and students. Through these workshops, we hope to introduce middle school girls to the possibilities available to them through technology and empower them for their future careers.
In an effort to reach as many girls as possible, we are making our workshop curriculum available to companies, organizations, schools, and community groups. We believe that by doing this we can reach girls around the world and help them develop a lifelong passion and confidence in their use of technology.
Our mission at TechGirlz is to give girls the opportunity to explore the power of technology in a fun and supportive environment. We are dedicated to helping them find the courage and confidence to pursue their dreams and to be the next generation of tech-savvy women.
