Today @Tech_She_Can launched as a charity 🎉🥂 I am so proud of the journey we have been on over the last 3 years. An added bonus is a get to do it all with one of my best friends and a fabulous wider team of inspirational people💗 Excited to see what the future holds 😊

Primary and Secondary schools teachers, we’ve got something exciting planned for this International Women’s Day… We’re proud to be part of the Girls Can! – Great Big Live Assembly this International Women’s Day ✨ On 3 March, primary and secondary schools across the UK are invited to join a special live assembly celebrating the courage and resilience of girls from Afghanistan, including the legendary Afghan Girls’ Robotics Team. We’re especially excited that Roya Mahboob, one of the first female tech CEOs in Afghanistan, will be featured in the assembly. Her extraordinary journey has inspired the feature film Rule Breakers, based on her life. We’re delighted that Becky Patel, Head of Education at Tech She Can, will be joining Gemma Hunt and @krishk from Sanctuary Foundation to talk about why International Women’s Day matters, and why it’s so important that we actively work to ensure more underserved girls see a future for themselves in technology. When girls are denied education, the world loses talent. When girls are given access, visibility and belief - they build, innovate and lead. This fast paced YouTube assembly will inspire students to: ✨ Value their education ✨ Challenge under-representation in tech ✨ Build inclusive communities where talent has no borders Let’s use this International Women’s Day to show young people what’s possible. 📅 3 March - Live on YouTube (with catch-up available) Register your school and join us live 👇 Free tickets here for the Secondary Assembly, 8.40am- 8.50am eventbrite.co.uk/e/198192940119… Free tickets here for the Primary Assembly, 9.05am - 9.25am eventbrite.co.uk/e/198192399301… #InternationalWomensDay #GirlsCan #GiveToGain #TechSheCan

Inclusion isn’t just a principle - it’s a pathway to innovation. This #WorldInclusionDay, we’re championing a future where every child, no matter their gender, background or postcode, can see themselves shaping technology. At Tech She Can, we’re reimagining what tech careers look like - connecting children’s passions to real-world technology, inspiring them early, and making role models visible in every classroom. From in-classrooms in low social mobility areas to our national LIVE lessons that reach tens of thousands of students - we’re proving that when we include everyone, we change the ratio for good. Because the future of technology won’t just be defined by the technology we build - it will be defined by who gets to build it. Together, we can build technology that truly works for all. Join us in celebrating inclusion, curiosity, and creativity this #WorldInclusionDay. #TechSheCan #WorldInclusionDay #ChangeTheRatio #TechWeCan
