The Sharks Foundation started February's Education Month presented by SAP by extending a $40,000 Community Assist Grant to Techbridge Girls, an Oakland-based non-profit focused on inspiring girls to discover a passion for science, technology, engineering and math. Techbridge Girls' mission is to excite, educate, and equip girls from low-income communities by delivering high-quality STEM programming that empowers a girl to achieve economic mobility and better life chances. Made possible by a partnership with SAP, the commitment will support Bridging the Gender Gap in STEM: Girl-centric after-school education for low-income youth in South Bay communities. More specifically, it will accelerate the organization's Digitization Strategy, helping provide curriculum, training and support for educators, expand virtual learning opportunities and fund STEM & Social-Emotional Learning kits which include items like Wi-Fi hotspots and yoga mats.
