TechGirls Exchange Program is highly competitive because it selects only 111 girls from the 37 participating countries and 13 US Peers. TechGirls will show their performances in a dynamic three-week U.S.-based experience with a seven-month mentoring program (including pre-and post-exchange). The core of the TechGirls program is a 23-day experience in the United States. In partnership with Virginia Tech, participants engage in an interactive tech camp that provides an in-depth examination of cutting-edge technologies and various educational and professional paths in STEM fields.

TechGirls will get a chance to travel to a city around the USA (Austin, Cincinnati, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, or Seattle) for community immersion and STEM career exploration. The TechGirls programming yields a multiplier effect as participants return home to conduct community-based projects with seven months of mentorship.
