INTEL: Girls and Women as Technology Creators, Innovators, and Leaders
Today, more girls and women are using technology than ever before. But relatively few are playing a role in creating this technology or are pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Intel and the Intel Foundation support a range of programs, competitions, and resources that seek to inspire and equip more girls and women to create and build the technology of the future.
We know that 74% of girls express interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), but only .3% choose Computer Science as a college major. Girls Who Code is a national movement to provide computer science education and exposure to 1 million young women by 2020.
