Inspiring Creativity and Confidence in the Next Generation of Innovators

Beginner-friendly creative technology programmes for girls and young women who do not yet identify as technical.

Explore the programmes Fund a cohort

No prior coding experience. No pressure to already know the answer.

The starting point

“Not technical yet” is not a verdict. It is an invitation.

Technology often gets introduced as a test of what a young person already knows. We introduce it as a material they can play with: shape it, question it, break it and rebuild it.

Programmes

Meet them where they are. Build from there.

From a first spark to a ten-session project, every programme combines creativity, practical making and honest industry insight.

CREATIVE TECHNICAL BRIDGE

A curriculum-embedded journey from curiosity to a finished project. Learners respond to a real brief, meet employers and present work they can be proud of.

  • Consistent trained facilitator
  • Real community or employer brief
  • Final presentation and showcase

The bridge

Not a one-off talk.A body of work.

  1. 01Discover

    Creative coding, confidence and the breadth of technology.

  2. 02Build

    Teams make something in response to a real brief.

  3. 03Connect

    Women in industry make the workplace feel tangible.

  4. 04Showcase

    Learners present, receive feedback and recognise progress.

Early impact

Confidence moved because the students made something themselves.

After the pilot, learners asked for more coding, more balanced conversations about AI and more women from industry in the room.

Founded by Kayanat Suleman

“I did not begin by seeing myself as technical. I built my way in.”

After moving from architecture into software testing, Kayanat created Women That Program to make that first crossing feel more creative, human and possible for the girls coming next.

The next cohort

Help a girl leave with something she made—and a new idea of what she can become.
