Let's take this campaign to the next level
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us reach our goal of $5,000! With a few days left in our campaign, we can make an even bigger impact if more of you contribute. There is much that we hope to do given our national expansion - thank you and Happy New Year!
What We Do
The
mission of Techbridge is to empower girls to realize their dreams through
science, technology, and engineering. Our innovative after-school and
summer programs inspire 5th through 12th grade
girls from underserved communities in the San Francisco Bay Area to change the
world. In 2012, Techbridge received Silicon Valley Education Foundation’s national award for innovations in science education.
Our
weekly programs provide girls with hands-on projects and career exploration
through our curriculum, role models, and field trips. Techbridge girls build
confidence, problem-solving skills, perseverance, and public speaking abilities
that will serve them well in any career.
Techbridge’s
holistic approach gives girls a strong support network that includes their
peers, teachers, families, and role models. We provide trainings for role
models, resources for families, and professional development opportunities for
educators in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the country. We
have a national reach through our partnership with Girl Scout councils and are
at an exciting period in our growth as we embark on a national expansion of our
after-school programs, beginning with Seattle in fall 2014.
