ChickTech is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging more girls and women to pursue technology related careers through hands-on events.
Our program kick-off event will host high school girls from the Raleigh/Durham area in a free-to-participate event. Each participant will attend one of the many technology related workshops and leave with a take-home item from the workshop. After kick-off, the girls may choose to participate in any (or all) of the next several monthly workshops.
We suggest you nominate students who:
- Have not participated in a computer science course, technology project, or camp before due to lack of interest and/or financial resources
- Have never participated in any technology programs before, but would benefit from exposure to hands-on activities, mentoring opportunities and career exposure
- Typically would not consider a tech career
- Display an above-average aptitude for math or science, along with a creativity and willingness to learn new things
- Will be in 9th-12th grade as of November 2020
- Any child who identifies as a girl and we also welcome trans youth of any gender, gender fluid youth, and non-binary youth
Thank you for taking the time to nominate a student for the program!
