High-Tech High Heels - Texas Chapter

Closing the gender gap in STEM fields

aka High-Tech High Heels North Texas   |   Dallas, TX   |  https://www.hightechhighheels.org/texas-chapter/

Mission

HTHH was formed in 2001 by 30 women at Texas Instruments with a shared vision of closing the gender gap in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Two decades ago, they knew that closing the gender gap in STEM would require increasing the number of girls graduating from high school and entering a college-level degree program in STEM. These women pooled their resources to grant to programs to support this vision and mission. However, in 2001, programs to support these objectives did not exist. Not to be deterred, these amazing philanthropreneurs developed their own programs to educate and inspire girls to succeed in STEM. Today, HTHH continues to fund programs to improve education, inspire and mentor the next generation and provide hands-on learning for girls.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Women are underrepresented in science and engineering occupations. Social and environmental factors contribute to this underrepresentation.

HTHH aims to close the gender gap in STEM fields by:

1) Improving STEM education
2) Inspiring and mentoring the next generation
3) Providing hands-on learning opportunities for girls

We fund innovative and proven programs across the entire K-12 STEM academic pipeline.
