Technolochicas
TECHNOLOchicas is a necessary, focused approach that highlights the interests, strengths, and needs of Latinas. Latina girls and women in the U.S. may be avid users of technology, but they are significantly underrepresented in its creation: Latinas occupied only 2 percent of jobs in the computing workforce in 2016. This program helps to show the Latino community that their daughters can achieve the same, or even greater, success in the technology industry. "She can’t be what she can’t see."
For: Latinas 11-15 years old
