Techbridge was launched in 2000 to expand the options of girls in underserved communities and to address the shortage of women and underrepresented groups in technology and engineering. Our dynamic programming offers girls in grades 5-12 the opportunity for hands-on learning, career exploration through role models and worksite visits, and academic and career guidance.
Techbridge works closely with partners to expand impact beyond our community. With support from the Noyce Foundation and the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, Techbridge is adapting its curriculum and rolling out programs-in-a-box to Girl Scouts to inspire thousands more girls in technology and engineering.
Techbridge Girls excites, educates, and equips girls from low-income communities by delivering high-quality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programming. As a result of our work serving elementary through high school aged girls and their communities across the country, we are empowering girls to achieve economic mobility and better life chances. We envision a world where all girls lead, contribute, and thrive in STEM.
Mission: The mission of Techbridge is to encourage girls in technology, science and engineering through multi-faceted programs for girls, teachers, role models and families. Our philosophy is to change girls' lives, one girl at a time, through consistent, personal support and a dedication to increasing their choices for the future.

Techbridge Girls continues to persevere through this challenging time to support our girls from low-income communities who are disproportionately affected.
Expanding Your Horizons, now powered by Techbridge Girls, is a STEM outreach event that has been happening every year at Cornell since 1988 with the goal of inspiring and engaging middle schoolers across a wide range of STEM fields and careers. In recent years we have hosted 500 participants as well as their parents and teachers for a day packed with interactive scientific workshops, talks, and panel discussions put on by students, staff, and faculty from departments all across Cornell.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we cannot have an in-person EYH this year, but the EYH team is hard at work organizing a fun, online, interactive experience! On April 18th, we will be hosting a Virtual EYH with live demos, engaging talks, panels, and more! With contributions from scientists and panelists from all around the country, Virtual EYH will be free and open to EVERYONE! We hope kids (and kids-at-heart) from all over will tune in to join us for this event.

Amid the uncertainty and disruption stemming from the coronavirus outbreak, our community remains resilient. We have always persevered, even through the most challenging situations.
As we work to support our girls and families with at-home STEM resources under these unprecedented circumstances, we're also still celebrating Women's History Month and elevating the stories of women who exemplify perseverance and courage. Techbridge Girls is pleased to highlight the bold, compassionate women who #LeadFearlessly through the Chevron Executive Women’s Group.
Two members of the Group, Chris Alcantara-Richard (Organizational Capabilities Special Projects Manager) and Irene Melitas (General Manager, Benefit Plan Investments), recently shared their visions for the future of women in STEM and their own approaches to leading fearlessly in the face of adversity.

Given the unprecedented spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and school closures across the U.S., Techbridge Girls is following the direction of our local districts and has suspended all our after-school programming effective immediately. Many of our EYH conferences have also been canceled, though this varies by conference.
Techbridge Girls is deeply committed to empowering girls from low-income communities to achieve economic mobility through high-quality STEM experiences. And we are equally committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our program participants, event attendees, and other community members.
COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting the communities we serve, in addition to disrupting our girls’ education. Because our girls are members of some of the most vulnerable populations (including communities of color and low-income neighborhoods), they will face financial hardship and food insecurity, as their families may not be able to work, after-school childcare will be unavailable, and many may not be able to receive free or reduced lunch through schools. Our girls and their families are also more likely to lack access to healthcare, and even preventative supplies.
To address these challenges, Techbridge Girls is working quickly and diligently to formulate alternative program delivery options by planning at-home STEM activities for our girls, curating resources for families, and creating opportunities for our girls to develop their own civic engagement and leadership skills in response to COVID-19.
We will keep you updated on any further actions that we may take, and we will add resources and information here and at https://www.techbridgegirls.org/index.php?id=509 on an ongoing basis.
Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through these challenging circumstances.
