Our Impact
We annually assess our program results for our girls, educators, and volunteers. Since 2000, we have implemented rigorous evaluation that supports program iteration, an understanding of program impact and system-level insights to transform our field.
Techbridge Girls has been a leader in out-of-school-time STEM education for 25 years. Our students and educators rely on our programs and resources well after the end of each session. We’re investing in brilliance in more than 25 states across the country.

Transforming Leaders and Systems
What's the impact of our professional development programs? Here's what our participants are saying.
Critical Thinking about Critical Issues
My organization is STEM based, and these sessions have only affirmed my belief that STEM is vital for everyone in every community. STEM helps us learn and grow more aware of the world around us — environmentally, economically, and socially. Access to STEM education allows individuals to learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help address critical issues.
Resilience Resonates Outward
Leaning into some of the resilience neuroscience research… as much as I teach and incorporate resilience, I don’t always embody the belief in my own life. Modeling this belief for kids is critical, because sometimes it genuinely needs to be demonstrated, not just spoken of, to make a greater impact.
Feeling the Strength of Community
This space has always been full of no judgment and love, which has allowed this butterfly to safely spread her wings. I will continue to educate myself, aiding in my growing confidence, and be intentional in mirroring these principles in the rooms I find myself in.
Identity
I have truly enjoyed Techbridge Girls. I think that it's important to be able to have something that is for the girls that creates a safe space, maybe even a counter space, if you will, for girls to be able to be authentically themselves, unapologetically. So that we can hear all the squeals and the joy, and all of that that goes along with, you know, learning something new and being an expert in it, so that you can share it with other people, and then say you know, this is, I enjoy doing this.
Creating Actions from Words
I plan to continue showcasing STEM equity by organizing an Equity workshop with my STEM Ecosystem, and potentially creating a STEM Equity advocacy workshop.
To build on this confidence, I plan to expand our global partnerships with girls’ organizations and nonprofits, empowering more young women to see themselves as engineers, coders, and creators.
