ChickTech is a nonprofit organization dedicated to retaining women in the technology workforce and increasing the number of women and girls pursuing technology-based careers. We are a movement that will create industry-wide change by providing a pool of talent with new perspectives, while empowering girls and women to choose a path toward a fulfilling, well-paid career. We facilitate hands-on technology-centric events to empower, support, and increase the confidence of women and girls. Through our events, we build community, empower participants to see themselves as leaders, and provide networking and mentoring opportunities in the rapidly growing high tech industry. ------------- Programs ChickTech: High School finds, engages, and supports girls who do not identify themselves as technically oriented. We provide a year-long series of free opportunities for a cohort of 100 high school girls per city who have the aptitude but who have not yet opted in to other STEM opportunities. With monthly project-based workshops, an internship program in partnership with local companies, and a one-on-one mentor program, we have created a multi-faceted, successful program that has already changed the lives of nearly 800 girls. ChickTech: Aspire provides a supportive community for women who want to enter the technology field. This is a new program in development. ChickTech: Career is a series of events focused on providing a community and continued education opportunities for women in a technical or near-tech career. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging and continued confidence in our participants.
