Our programs

Be part of the change we
are creating in Michigan

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.

How we influence long-term change

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.
