The Award winning TECgirls project is a part of TECwomen CIC. It was set up in 2019 by Caitlin Gould, with the support of a group of women and men in Cornwall who want to change the status quo. Across the UK there is a lack of women in technology, engineering and the creative sectors. This filters down to a lack of participation at the college, secondary and even primary school levels. Girls just don't seem to be joining in. This is an even more pronounced issue in rural and costal communities, where career connections are not always as obvious for young people. â€‹â€‹â€‹

​

We set out to change this in Cornwall and since 2019 we've worked with thousands of girls to show them that technology, engineering and creativity are a "Girl Thing".  As a team we believe passionately that we can make a difference and we are starting to see an impact from the work we do. The challenge is huge, but we are only just getting started!
