We are happy to introduce the Texas Girls
Collaborative Project (TxGCP). The TxGCP connects organizations and
individuals across Texas committed to informing and motivating girls
to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM).
Led by the Women in Engineering Program
(WEP) at The University of Texas at Austin, the TxGCP brings
together Leadership Team and Champions Board leaders from
non-profits, K-12 schools, higher education institutions,
companies and organizations across the state of Texas.
The TxGCP will provide many opportunities for
individuals and organizations across Texas to meet or reconnect,
learn about each other's work, and develop ways to work together to
better serve girls and young women in STEM.
