INTech Foundation highlights the stark gender disparity in engineering, with a notable shortage of women in the field. Alarmingly, close to 40% of women who do enter tech roles choose to leave shortly after commencing their careers, and a significant portion never enter the industry at all, as per recent statistics on women in tech.
INTech Foundation is based in Charlotte, NC. However, we reach students from all over the Americas. We engage students, ages 10-17, all from more than 21 states in the US. Our efforts have extended into small communities in Ontario Canada and in South America.

Our work is possible because of our programmatic or financial support from community partners globally.
We are only able to serve our youth because of the community networks that support us. Our memberships help us maintain best practices within and outside of our organization. They also provide a way for us to share resources with other community members and organizations who need it.
Khalia Braswell was hooked on technology as soon as she received her first computer from her mother. She loves tech so much that she enrolled in a tech-focused public high school. Khalia went on to complete an undergraduate program in computer science and a masters program in information technology.
In 2014, Khalia launched INTech Camp for Girls as a side project to lift Black and Latina girls up to be a part of the next generation of technologists, showing them all the opportunities available to them. Since 2014, INTech has grown to serve 1500+ youth in 22 states around America, Canada, and South America.
