We are a non-profit organization located at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania focused on bridging the cultural and gender gaps in design and computing, with a special emphasis on supporting underprivileged children, particularly girls. Drawing from personal experiences of language barriers and cultural adaptation as a teenager in a new country, we understand the unique challenges faced by those in similar situations. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where every child, regardless of background, can thrive in science and technology.
