Our Needs

DFW*ATW launched the GREATMINDS initiative more than ten years ago as a step to fulfill its mission of encouraging women and girls to enter technology fields. GREATMINDS (Girls Reaching for Education about Technology and Moving in New Directions for Success) is an outreach to encourage young girls to pursue careers in STEM through community programs. Our mission is to inspire and educate young girls to learn about opportunities in STEM, especially disadvantaged and low income students. Funding to support scholarships, camps, one-day events, after-school programs and more, is needed.
