The HYPE International Experience

HYPE's signature International Experience gives participants a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel abroad and teach coding skills to youth in an international developing country or urban city center.

Research shows that girls want to solve real-world problems and are drawn to service-oriented careers from a young age, but not STEM. Our fully-funded 1-week trips abroad allow HYPE alumnae to teach coding workshops to kids in developing countries, allowing them to put into practice what they have learned in the HYPE Project while connecting STEM fields to passion, purpose, and solving real-world problems.

HYPE organizes multiple International Experiences per year, hosting up to 20 girls for each experience. This train-the-trainer model allows participants to go from being a student to a teacher and gain critical leadership skills that prepare them for future careers in tech, all while gaining a global perspective with exposure to new countries, cultures, and ways of life.

We'll share more information about The HYPE International Experience in the futue, so stay tuned!!!
