High Tech Rising Silicon Valley

04/03/2026

High Tech High Heels is now High Tech Rising. As we mark our 25th anniversary, 10 years in the Silicon Valley, our new name and visual identity reflect both where
we’ve been and where we’re going. For nearly 25 years, our volunteer-led organization has invested in programs that expand access to STEM education for young girls and women. That work continues — with the same focus on stewardship, strong partnerships, and programs with clear success outcomes. High Tech Rising represents what has always guided us: strengthening pathways into
STEM and ensuring that opportunity is defined by skill, not access. We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this work, and we look forward to what
comes next. New website coming soon: HighTechRising.org
