CEC Diversity Associate Mercadi Crawford makes sure that--no matter who they are--all Break Through Tech students know a STEM career is possible with the right education, resources, and opportunities.

As a child growing up in Mumbai, Vinee Moradiya loved to cook. But when her uncle inspired her to pursue an education in computer science, she was eager to follow suit.

On July 26, the first-ever Break Through Tech at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Guild program kicks off with a group of more than 60 women from Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Northern Virginia Community College who want to learn more about technology and computing.

Senior computer science major Kelly Glebus shares her perspective on women in computing, her time at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and encouragement for women in computing.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ received a grant from Break Through Tech to propel more students who identify as women and non-binary into tech education—and ultimately tech careers—through curriculum innovation, career access, and community building.
