Girls In Technology (GIT) Sharing Our Success (SOS) Program

2022-2023 Application

Girls in Technology (GIT) is led by a committee of women volunteers who are dedicated to initiating programs to excite, inspire and create awareness for girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

Our vision is to significantly increase the number of girls who pursue STEM education and ultimately join the ranks of other successful women in STEM careers.

Our mission is to engage and inspire girls in grades 6 through 12 in the D.C. Metro Region, especially underserved girls, to enable them to envision a path for education and career opportunities in STEM. Our programs will offer successful women role models, targeted education, endearing support and affinity. We will hold ourselves accountable to focus on GIT girls-first and foster diversity and inclusion (and belonging).

Sharing Our Success (SOS) Program – 6th Year!

The Sharing Our Success (SOS) Program connects girls with STEM organizations, other girls interested in STEM, and professional women in a workshop setting that provides a safe place and encouragement to explore STEM. The SOS Program focus is on girls in grades 6 through 8. SOS members attend two Saturday morning sessions, each lasting two hours. The agenda typically includes networking, a speaker/panel discussing their passion for STEM, and hands-on activities. Finally, each participant will receive swag! 

Our companion Scholarships and Awards (S&A) Program is designed to provide STEM Experience scholarships for girls in grades 6 through 8. Scholarships are competitively awarded based on application submissions, essay responses, and GIT program engagement.
