Mission

Founded by girls, for girls, High-Tech High Heels (HTHH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in STEM careers by increasing the number of girls pursuing college-level science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees. HTHH was founded in 2001 by a group of women working for Texas Instruments who wanted to see more qualified, diverse women like themselves in the workforce.   Today, with the support of the Communities Foundation of Texas, HTHH has given over one million dollars in grants to directly support girls in STEM  by providing teacher training, mentorships  and hands-on learning opportunities  that gets girls excited about STEM subjects and careers.   And, we’re just getting started.
