TECHNOLOchicas

As recently as 2017, Latinas occupied only 1 percent of jobs in the computing workforce. But when young women are inspired—when they find role models like themselves—they can change what’s possible. In fact, young women with empowered voices go on to change the lives of their families, neighborhoods, and communities at the same time they change their own. A national initiative coproduced with the Televisa Foundation, TECHNOLOchicas speaks to young Latinas and their families, raising awareness about opportunities and careers in technology. Ambassadors from diverse backgrounds share their technology career experiences, turning broadcast television, local events, social media, and online videos into tools of inspiration. In speaking engagements, workshop volunteering, interviews, and outreach, TECHNOLOchicas’ powerful stereotype-shattering encounters inspire young women to chart their own trajectories.

TECHNOLOchicas helps Latinas see themselves in technology innovation and leadership, showing them that they can influence the future of computing and the well-being of their communities.
