Inspiring girls and women to pursue technology. The benefits of computing are no longer limited to “geeks” and “video gamers,” it is shaping all aspects of modern society‚ from the way we track and monitor our lives to virtual socialization. With the adoption of smartphones and their application, as well as social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. technology is more prevalent than ever before. Incorporating women, who are creating a global paradigm shift and shaping technology so rapidly, is crucial to the future sustainability of technology. Girls are smart, bold, and brimming with innovative ideas; we are helping them unleash their potential. We want to challenge the traditional ‘nerdy’ stereotype with that of the ‘femgineer’- an innovative, empowered, well-rounded engineer who lends human compassion to the face of technology. We value human indecision as much as deterministic Turing machines.
