Our Impact
How we are empowering girls in Cornwall in the areas of Technology, Engineering, and Creativity (TEC).
At TECgirls, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to discover her passion for Technology, Engineering, and the Creative digital world. But opportunity isn’t always enough, environment, representation, and confidence matter too.
TECgirls 2025 TEC Attitudes Report
Over the past year, TECgirls, surveyed 651 Year 9 students from across Cornwall to better understand how young people perceive Technology, Engineering, and Creativity (TEC) in relation to their futures.
What we found was both sobering and full of possibility.
TECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING
CREATIVITY
Only 1% of girls are interested in coding jobs like software engineer or programmer.
Only 2% of girls say they want to work in engineering.
Only 6% of girls are interested in creative digital jobs.
But there’s hope. Nearly half of the girls surveyed believe they could improve their coding skills with more practice, and a majority said they enjoy subjects like Design & Technology when given support and encouragement.
