Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation
Everything we do centers on inspiring and growing women in technology. MCWT is on a mission to help women consider, advance and stay in tech. We work to broadly reach young girls to get them to consider technology and deeply connect with women who choose the Technology path.
We do this in two ways:
Spark students’ technology interest through robotics, website design competitions, virtual camps and more.
Engage our 1,000+ members through eLearning, professional development events, networking and mentoring.
This work allows us to not only create a steady stream of women ready to enter the technology workforce, but also supports them throughout their professional life.
To influence long-term change, we need to make an impact early in girls’ lives. We help them learn about and experience careers in tech, have fun with technology, get scholarships to pursue a technical career and gain visibility within the technology industry.
Since 2002, we’ve been expanding our reach, mainstreaming tech, and positively impacting women from grade school to post-university life stages.
A portion of your membership dues and donations from our corporate partners enables us to continue the momentum.

Meet Vanette Hill, a powerhouse IT manager at BCBSM breaking barriers in the tech world. Benefiting from the support of MCWT, she has risen from participant to lead of our ELEVATE cohort program.
We hope you’ll feel inspired by Vanette’s experience and the history our organization is making as we inspire and grow women in tech.
MCWT multi-year scholar, Himaja Motheram shares her personal story on how the GET-IT programs made an impact on her interest in technology. Throughout her course of the program, she grew closer to a community of girls who were just as eager to learn and engage as she was. To learn more about Himaja’s journey, click the button below.
Taking scholars to the next level in their tech career is apart of MCWT’s goal to continue the lifecycle of girls and women in technology throughout Michigan.
