Making Michigan the No. 1 state for girls and women in technology! Join us in inspiring and growing women in tech.
About us
Our vision is to make Michigan the No.1 state for women in technology. Michigan’s IT workforce is growing, and there’s a compelling business case for ensuring companies hire and retain diverse employees to fuel innovation. MCWT Foundation’s 130-plus partner companies help fund programs that support this cause. Everything we do centers on inspiring and growing girls and women in technology. We work to broadly reach young girls to get them to consider technology and deeply connect with women who choose the tech path. We spark young girls' interest in tech through robotics grants, coding and website competitions, and summer technology camps. Our 700-plus members stay engaged through eLearning, professional development events, networking and mentoring programs. This work allows us to create a steady stream of women ready to enter the technology workforce, and we support them throughout their professional lives. Partner funding, a small staff, and more than 300 volunteers have enabled us to bring resources to more areas of the state, replicate our summer technology camps and grow our programs. We convene a network of stakeholders—teachers, parents, students, businesses, professionals and retirees—who are committed to seeing Michigan's tech community thrive. Support us in our mission by volunteering, donating, or becoming a partner, or joining our membership. Stay connected here and on our members-only LinkedIn group and Facebook page, facebook.com/MCWTFoundation.

Today we celebrate Katherine Johnson’s birthday. She was an American mathematician whose calculations had launched the first and many U.S. spaceflights in her 33 years at NASA. She was also the first African American woman to work at NASA as a scientist and she was known as a “human computer.” Her accomplishments at NASA are portrayed in the movie and book, Hidden Figures. She passed away on February 24th of 2020 but she has paved the path for so many women in tech and science. Happy Birthday, Katherine! #WomenInTech #WomenEmpowerment #TechHistory
