Our Mission

Run by girls for girls, our mission is to inspire girls to pursue their tech passions by introducing them to the possibilities in the tech industry through engaging workshops and connecting them with female mentors, role models in the GTA and beyond.

Currently, women hold only 25% of all computing jobs and 74% of young girls express interest in STEM fields and computer science. As girls grow up, they are deterred from entering the tech industry — an industry that is at the forefront of innovation in our ever-changing global society. Our team aims to show girls how awesome the tech industry is, and how much opportunity exists for them in this area.

“In 1991, the percentage of women holding computing jobs peaked at 36%. Since then, unfortunately, this rate has been steadily decreasing.”
