At GWC, our mission is to close the gender gap in tech by empowering students with technical skills, a supportive community and access to careers in the industry. Central to our theory of change is developing students' confidence and equipping them with social capital so they can pursue meaningful careers and solve problems in their community with technology. We have taught our students that when they learn to code, they can not only make the change they want to see in the world, but by choosing a career in tech, they can change their life too. We demystify tech roles and broaden their horizons about what’s possible. STEM jobs pay 26% more than other careers.
Through our curriculum and campaigns, we showcase a diverse group of women in tech role models to highlight to our students that they can also use their skills in technology to uplift their field, their community, and just as importantly -- their own future. In order to ensure that our students have all the skills they need to succeed, and in response to student requests, we are developing a new set of activities and experiences focused on AI. We know that when students and young women are empowered with knowledge about sustainable energy, they can take meaningful action to protect their future and the planet. That is why we are excited to be developing and focusing our 2024-2025 GWC Challenge on the topic of sustainable energy while incorporating the elements of AI.
