Five Years of TECwomen
A Wave of Change
Thousands of ripple effects.
Five years ago, TECwomen set out to create more opportunities for women and girls to explore technology, engineering and creative (TEC) careers.
Since then, thousands of girls have been reached. Women have built new skills and confidence. Teachers have opened up new possibilities. Schools have connected with industry. Businesses, funders and partners have helped create new pathways into the future workforce.
Each one creates a ripple. And together, those ripples are becoming a wave.
We would like to invite you to join us in celebrating what we've achieved together and to look ahead with us to the impact we can build the next five years.

Each part of the evening has been designed to celebrate our journey so far and inspire the next wave of change.
