For over 40 years Intel has been creating technologies that advance the way people live, work, and learn. Through the Intel Global Girls and Women Initiative, we are working to empower millions of girls and women around the world by closing the gender gap in education access, inspiring more girls and women to become creators of technology, and connecting girls and women to opportunity through technology access. Intel supports a range of programs, competitions, and resources that seek to inspire and empower more girls and women to create and build the technology of the future. We focus on programs that feature hands-on activities such as “Maker ” and coding, involve peer mentors and role models, and connect technology and engineering careers to positive social impact
