Globally and in Hong Kong, women are under-represented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The Women’s Foundation’s Girls Go Tech Programme (GGT) empowers underserved secondary school girls in Hong Kong to explore and pursue traditionally male-dominated STEM subjects and careers. Since its inception in 2015, GGT has introduced over 4,000 girls to the world of STEM and digital literacy.

Through online courses, interactive workshops, company visits and inspirational role-model talks, the programme builds participants’ skills, confidence and curiosity in STEM and problem-solving. GGT also offers scholarships for female university candidates in need who wish to pursue STEM degrees, a Career Hub for senior secondary participants, and a GGT Alumni that supports female tertiary students transform STEM skills into careers. By working closely with schools, teachers, families and corporate partners, GGT fosters an enabling environment where girls can challenge gender stereotypes and view STEM as an achievable and rewarding pathway for their future.
