Tech She Can

Celebrating World Wide Web Day Today marks a major milestone in digital history - the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. It’s hard to imagine modern life without it. From enabling global communication to fuelling entire industries, the web transformed our world. At Tech She Can, we believe it’s just as important to prepare the next generation to shape what comes next. That’s why we create free educational resources, host career inspiration experiences, and share stories from real role models - to help young people, especially girls and children from underrepresented backgrounds, see themselves in future tech careers. On a day that celebrates innovation, let’s commit to making it inclusive and accessible to all.
