Inspired by a "think globally, act locally" call to action at the UN's Commission on the Status of Women, we sought to create a program to address the gender gap within our computer science community.

Tech Together was founded by two high school girls with the goal of sharing our passion for computing with younger girls and inspiring them to pursue their interests in computing. We tried to provide a strong foundation in computer science by introducing computing fundamentals, engaging them with fun and interactive activities, and walking students through programming challenges.

We coached students online to compete in the American Computer Science League (ACSL), co-hosted in-person meetings, and taught Girl Scouts the computing elements needed to fulfill their Coding For Good badges.
