Girl Get IT – Where future innovators connect with today’s technology leaders

WIT’s Girls Get IT, as part of the WIT Foundation, collaborates with the Georgia business community to inspire girls in middle and high school to choose careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

Why? Because the statistics are alarming: America lags behind other nations in the number of students majoring in science and engineering at colleges and universities, according to the National Science Foundation. Additionally, women make up just 9 percent of those receiving engineering degrees – and with your help, we’re changing that statistic.

WIT’s Girls Get IT offers three opportunities for technology professionals to inspire young girls to get IT:

Go To Work — Be a Hero

Companies including CNN, The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot, AutoTrader.com, The Weather Channel and IBM Digital Video Studios have become heroes to young girls through WIT’s Girls Get IT program. How? By showing a girl how they do their day jobs – it’s as simple as that.
