Megan

Megan, an aspiring Computer Science engineer from California, is the Founder and Executive Director of Tech Girls United and President of the organization GAITEway (Girls in AI and Tech Education). After noticing a lack of female engagement in robotics in her local area, she started an all-female VEX robotics competition team as the lead engineer. Her role allowed her to mentor newer members and qualify to the State and World Championships last year. In 2020, she hosted a data science summer camp to teach girls about data science and its machine learning applications, reaching over 100 participants from 15 states and 18 countries. Over the last year, she’s hosted workshops and panels on UX design, fintech, robotics and information science, and this summer she is hosting a conference to help women explore careers in tech.
