Techbridge Girls (TBG) is a unique provider of gender-responsive and culturally-relevant immersive after-school science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and social-emotional (SEL) programming for elementary and middle school-aged girls* and gender-expansive youth. Techbridge Girls is reimagining the way STEM is taught to center the brilliance and potential of Black, Indigenous, and Latina

girls and gender-expansive youth. We believe that with these girls’ experiences, values, interests, voices, and brilliance, we can fully experience the possibilities of what a STEM revolution can do for our world.

“I started my journey to Chief Information Officer more than 30 years ago as a person of color from an underserved community. Now, I enjoy helping the next generation of STEM leaders discover their career paths.

We need STEM leaders of the future to look and think differently to confront the complex challenges facing humankind like pandemics, climate change, and artificial intelligence. Yet, some of the brightest STEM leaders of tomorrow are pushed out of STEM before they can start their career. BIPOC girls* from low-income communities often receive the message that STEM is not for them.

One of the best ways to interrupt inequity and create belonging for the next generation of STEM leaders is by supporting Techbridge Girls.”

Double your gift today for the STEM leaders of tomorrow! http://ow.ly/panB50LZToN The Techbridge Girls Board has contributed to a $30,000 Leadership Match to inspire giving by STEM Equity Champions like you!

* Techbridge Girls serves Black, Indigenous, and all girls of color, which includes cis girls, trans youth, gender non-conforming, and/or non-binary youth who experience(d) girlhood and economic insecurity as a part of their journey.

At Techbridge Girls we are creating and advocating for equitable STEM education experiences that celebrate and center Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls – giving them a sense of belonging that empowers them to persist in STEM careers.
⭐️When girls feel like they belong in STEM spaces, they engage more deeply in STEM programs, stay in them longer, and eventually persist into STEM careers.
⭐️A sense of belonging is a student’s perception of physical and emotional safety, being seen, being understood, and having encouraging relationships with teachers and peers.

For the past 20 years, our programs have focused on building an environment where our girls feel a sense of belonging and can authentically thrive, and now we are equipping others to do the same – focusing on curriculum and pedagogy of equitable STEM education.

In 2023, we will launch Solving STEM’s Inequity Problem: The Belonging Blueprint. This new aspect of our work will focus on advocating for intersectional data that points to the right solutions for Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls, regardless of their zip code, proper funding that ensures our girls have access to quality STEM education in their own communities, and providing STEM spaces where our girls can show up as their full, authentic selves. When Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls feel like they belong in STEM, STEM solutions will be more equitable, creative, and effective.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming year on Techbridge Girls’ Belonging Blueprint and our solutions for a STEM advocacy prescription.

Today our CEO Nikole Collins-Puri joins the U.S. Department of Education YOU Belong in STEM National Coordinating Conference in Washington, D.C.!

As we know from our work, is a crucial part of why girls persist in education and eventually into a STEM career. Yet the idea of belonging is something that the field is just beginning to explore. We’re so glad the .S. Department of Education has launched this new . 👏🏾

We know that STEM education is not working for , , and . And simply channeling more girls into a system that wasn’t designed for them won’t lead to more girls succeeding and persisting in STEM.

That’s why in 2023, we’re launching the Blueprint, which advocates for:
📈 intersectional data that points to the right solutions for Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls
💵proper funding that ensures our girls have access to quality STEM education in their own communities
👩🏾‍💻STEM spaces where our girls can show up as their full, authentic selves.

Stay tuned for more information in the coming year!

📑Research tells us that responsive learning environments can make all the difference in girls’ sustained interest in STEM. To that end, we created the STEM Equity Learning Community intensive training to equip OST program managers and site directors so that more equitable learning spaces are available for girls, especially Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls, across the U.S.

Through the STEM Equity Learning Community, participants will:

•Explore how to use asset-based frameworks and practices to create inclusive OST STEM spaces for all youth.
•Experience culturally relevant and gender-responsive strategies that increase STEM belonging and persistence for all youth.
•Develop STEM equity action steps for their OST program.

💻The 2-hour, virtual STEM Equity Learning Community sessions are scheduled from January to May on the second Wednesday of each month at 10am Pacific | 1pm Eastern.

Each participant will receive a $1500 stipend to participate.

🤳🏾To attend an informational webinar November 9th 10 am Pacific | 1pm Eastern, please send an email to [email protected] to receive your sign up link and link to apply to be a part of this training opportunity by December 1st. 🌟
