NOT YOUR AVERAGE STEM ORGANIZATION


Greater Than Tech (GTT) is reaching to levels beyond STEM to build the next generation of diverse technology business leaders. We instill the importance of self-efficacy, STEM entrepreneurship and social impact in all our programming. We provide the following components for all our students to have the confidence to define their own path in tech:

Our Why

19% 19%

Educate

Black and Hispanic students earn fewer than 19% of STEM bachelor's degrees.

1% 1%

Advocate

Fewer than 1% of and .5% of leadership positions in tech are held by Latinx and Black women respectively.

4% 4%

Empower

In the U.S., women of color make up just 4% of small business technology leaders.

What's The Uncommon? What's The Uncommon?


Oftentimes, women of color in tech spaces and especially in technical leadership positions are considered “unicorns”. We want to dispel that fairytale!
Let’s normalize women of color in tech instead of further isolating them.
