Women In Technology

Women in Technology (WIT) is a nonprofit in Atlanta, Georgia founded in 1992 which supports and empowers girls and women in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) from the classroom to the boardroom. WIT today has over 18,000 members in Georgia, 200 volunteers and our WIT pathway journey begins with girls and women in middle, high school and college participating in our WIT Girls and WIT Campus education and mentoring programs.
