2021 Summer STEM Camp

June 14 - June 25

First come, first served.

In this free, 10-day virtual interactive tech camp, girls can leverage their creativity while learning all the essentials to turn their ideas into a real website. They'll hear from Women Across Tech who are developing solutions for healthcare, beauty, space and much more. The girls will also be able to connect to a community of other girls and future STEM leaders.

Thank You, 2021 Grant Partner

"The experiences and knowledge I’ve gained from ITWomen’s investment in my education are immeasurable. Through ITWomen’s support, I have accomplished much of what I once thought was impossible. I hope to one day give back to this foundation, uplifting and supporting the many more women in technology who are sure to succeed me." - Aranique is simultaneously pursuing a Bachelors and Masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management with a focus in Data Science at the University of Florida.

"The ITWomen Foundation Scholarship has served as a mentor in my life, a motivator in times of need, a huge supporter every step of the way, and a way for me to make it through college. My dedication to opportunities and technology would not have been the same, and who I am today, will not have been the same."

Before attending an ITWomen Summer Robotics and Coding Camp taught by an ITWomen scholarship recipient, I wasn't sure what I might like to study after high school. As a result of attending the summer camp, I am now pursuing a degree in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida and am a proud 2018 ITWomen scholarship recipient!

Why Your Support Matters

Computing jobs offer some of the highest salaries, but females are greatly under-represented.
Women held 57% of all professional occupations in 2016, but only 26% of computing occupations.
The middle school years are crucial for planning pre-requisite STEM courses in high school.
Girls are greatly outnumbered by boys in most high school tech classes.
ITWomen Role Model program inspires and empowers girls to dream of a future in tech.
ITWomen scholarships also provide female mentors for the college journey.
