Techbridge Girls launched in 2000 as a program to expand the academic and career options for girls in science, technology, engineering, and math. Since its founding, they have worked with over 4,000 girls in grades 5-12 through our after-school and summer programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. They believe every girl needs personal and consistent support to succeed, and to that aim, they have created resources for educators, families, and role models who make up her support network.

On Wednesday, May 2, 2018, the Autodesk Foundation hosted ~20 Techbridge middle school girls in the Autodesk Gallery.
It was a full day that included:
- Autodesk Gallery Tour
- Design and Make Workshop using Autodesk Tinkercad
- One on One Lunch with an Autodesk Employee Role Model per student
- Design Thinking Lecture
I was the ambassador for the gallery tour.
I was happy to share some of the interesting gallery exhibits with them.
