TechGYRLS
Coding, Robotics, and Simple Circuitry Workshops
YWCA Glendale and Pasadena’s TechGYRLS® program seeks to empower young girls in the areas of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and to encourage them to pursue careers within these fields. TechGYRLS® is a place to dream, explore new ideas, learn new skills, and be creative through STEAM activities.
We are currently registering TechGYRLS® students for the Winter-Spring 2026 semester held at the Caltech Campus in partnership with the CaltechY. If you have any questions about enrollment, please contact Gabriela Abrego at gabrielaabrego@ywcagp.org.
YWCA TechGYRLS
YWCA TechGYRLS® is a national program created by YWCA USA in 1997, developed in response to the widening gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Currently, women make up only 24% of California’s STEM workforce.
Our TechGYRLS® activities, including coding camps, STEAM career presentations, and robotics workshops all work to inspire girls to take an interest in and pursue STEAM subjects and careers in order to lessen the gap and bring an empowered female presence to the STEAM workforce.
Enrollment ↘
Our coding and robotics camps are tailored toward girls in grades 3-8; however, girls of all ages are eligible to participate. This program is held in partnership with the CaltechY.
