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:
- Workshops
- Demo Days
- Development Programs
- Training
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.

TAKING TECH TRAINING INTO
OUR OWN HANDS
A handful of entry-level data analysts is just a drop in the talent bucket, even for most mid-size companies with an average IT footprint. But, in a tight market for tech workers, every little bit helps.
