WIT Girls Robotics team

    Where future innovators connect with today’s technology leaders.

    According to the National Science Foundation, the U.S. lags behind other nations in the number of students pursuing science and engineering degrees. To help change this, WIT Girls collaborates with Georgia’s business community to inspire middle and high school girls to break barriers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). Through hands-on experiences and workshops, we ignite early interest in STEAM careers.

    Our programs—Career Exploration Workshops, Immersion Experiences, and the Job Shadow Program—connect students with industry leaders, offering real-world insights and invaluable connections. Explore the WIT Girls sponsors who help make these programs possible.

    Testimonials

    – Debbie, Mother of a WIT Girl

    “I cannot adequately convey my appreciation for the WIT organization and their incredible volunteers who have supported both of my daughters over the past 10 years.  Both of my girls loved the various events they attended: Behind the Scenes, Immersion, Job Shadow, Mentoring, and more.

    They learned a lot, but it was the encouragement, enthusiasm, and support of WIT that meant the most to both the girls and to us as parents. I wanted my kids to know that there were so many different careers and companies, but I had no idea the in-depth knowledge they would be getting from WIT Girls events.  More importantly, they were encouraged, inspired, and supported by this amazing group of women; they felt it in the group events and individually through participation in WIT Girls and other programs.

    At every WIT Girls event, the girls also felt supported and encouraged in their hobbies and extracurricular activities. These WIT Women are amazing as they enthusiastically encourage our daughters. WIT is filling a vital role that schools cannot fill, that doesn’t exist anywhere else.”

    – Zareenah, WIT Girl

    “I have been associated with Women In Technology as a high school student for the past 4 years. This has been one of my most cherished institutions since it has taught me a lot, both professionally and personally.

    I have built a strong professional network at WIT, and it has enabled me to get real-world work experience during several job shadow programs, as well as at various events that I have participated in as a Member and as an Ambassador. I highly recommend WIT to any and every high school girl whether or not she is interested in technology, as WIT exposure will open up a new horizon for any impressionable mind, be it a middle schooler, high schooler, or a college student”

    – Kim, Mother of a WIT Girl

    “I signed my daughter up for WIT Girls when she entered middle school. She had attended a week long coding camp the previous summer that she really enjoyed but she felt a little out of place because there were only a handful of girls in attendance. As a woman that works in tech I know firsthand what it’s like to be the minority in more ways than one. I wanted my daughter to be exposed and given a diverse perspective. Introducing her to WIT was the best decision I could have made

    WIT has provided fun ways for her to learn about different technologies and careers. She has attended several workshops and has had opportunities to be in the presence of women in different stages of their career. She is now a sophomore in high school and although she has not yet chosen what field to pursue, WIT has helped to make her aware of the various career opportunities in the field of STEAM. ” 

    – Bisa, Mother of a WIT Girl

    “As a parent of a WIT Girl of the Year Finalist and Scholarship Recipient,  WIT has given my daughter a view of the STEAM business world that she would have never received in a traditional classroom setting.  My daughter began her WIT journey at the age of 10.  Her first event was at Georgia Pacific and she was hooked.  We are truly grateful to WIT for providing a space and tools for girls to feel confident to pursue and thrive in the world of STEAM.” 

    – Alina, WIT Girl

    “As a high school student, WIT helped connect me with so many successful women who became mentors and role models for my success.”
