Welcome!

IGNITE, an acronym for Inspiring Girls Now In Technology Evolution, is a network of girls and women who inspire and teach each other. The women work with technology in nearly every imaginable sector of the work world. The girls—typical high school students trying to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives—use familiar technology everyday (cell phones, video games, the Internet), but most have never considered careers that envision, develop, market, sell, apply, or rely on these and other technologies. When the women share their personal stories with the girls, sparks of curiosity, knowledge, hope, and possibility are ignited. The synergy generated by this interaction soon has the girls blazing paths to previously unimagined futures of their own.

“To create the connections that make IGNITE unique, women share details about their lives to show that they are real people. We’ve heard women share difficulties such as pregnancy, dyslexia, and running away. It’s the realness of these struggles that draws the girls in and creates the magic. That’s what makes this program different and successful.” – Cathi

Our mission is to Inspire Girls to Consider High-Tech as a Positive Career Choice. IGNITE has been steadily building a success story, exposing teenage girls to the high-tech industry.
