What TECgirls & TECwomen does

Caitlin Gould is the visionary founder of TECgirls and TECwomen CIC, with over 15 years of experience in the tech sector. She set up TECgirls in 2019 to tackle the lack of women in technology, engineering, and creative industries - starting in rural Cornwall where career connections are even harder to find. Since then she has worked with thousands of girls, showing them that tech is absolutely a girl thing. Caitlin is passionate about AI, gender equality in tech, and creating environments where girls feel confident about their digital futures.
