Abstract of Proposed Collection
TechGirls enables students aged 15–
17 to gain exposure to a range of careers
in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) through a monthlong summer scholarship program in the
United States. The program includes
programming bootcamp, leadership
skills development, job shadow with
women in STEM fields, and a home stay
with U.S. families. In addition to
exposure to career and educational
pathways, participants gain
understanding of the United States and
its culture and create a network of
STEM-focused alumnae upon their
return home. The authority for the
program is the Mutual Educational and
Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as
amended (22 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.).
In order to assess the efficacy and
impact of TechGirls, the U.S.
Department of State’s Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)
intends to conduct an evaluation of the
program, which will include collection
of data from program alumnae between
2012 and 2019, program staff, host
families in the United States, and job
shadow hosts. As the TechGirls program
has been running for almost 10 years,
ECA is conducting this evaluation to
determine the extent to which the
program is achieving its long-term goals.
In order to do so, ECA has contracted
Dexis Consulting Group to conduct
surveys with alumnae and surveys with
their host families, program staff, and
job shadow hosts.
Methodology
As baseline information is limited to
initial profiles, it is necessary to collect
information directly from program
alumnae to assess the outcomes of the
TechGirls experience, particularly in the
areas of educational and career
trajectories and networking with others.
Additional perspectives will be sought
from the participants’ host families and
job shadow hosts. All of these groups
will receive online surveys.
