See Her Turn It Up: Empowering Girls Through Engineering and Technology

In a world where technology is rapidly shaping every aspect of our lives, it is imperative that girls and young women have the opportunity to participate and lead in this field. The gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) persists, with women and girls underrepresented in these fields. See Her Turn It Up is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging this gap by inspiring and empowering girls to pursue careers in engineering and technology.

What is See Her Turn It Up?

See Her Turn It Up is a national organization that provides hands-on engineering and technology programs for girls and young women in grades 6-12. The programs are designed to build confidence, develop technical skills, and inspire girls to pursue STEM careers.
