AI Fests - Techbridge Girls

Give girls in your community the chance to explore artificial intelligence through a joyful, hands-on day of STEM discovery, mentorship, creativity, and community-centered problem-solving. Techbridge Girls partners with schools, nonprofits, universities, companies, and community organizations to bring free AI Exploration Fests to communities across the country.
Girls rotate through fast-paced, interactive stations that make AI concepts tangible, relevant, and fun. These are just a preview of the full set of age-appropriate, hands-on stations included in every AI Exploration Fest.
Girls uncover what artificial intelligence actually is and begin separating AI facts from the hype.
Girls explore how AI systems collect information from the world around them through cameras, microphones, sensors, and other tools.
Playful challenges show girls why AI doesn’t think like humans and why human judgment, creativity, and critical thinking matter.
Girls explore the people and decisions behind technology and begin seeing themselves as future STEM creators and leaders.
Girls connect with women and professionals in STEM over lunch, hearing firsthand about their careers, experiences, and pathways into technology.
Girls work in teams alongside STEM role models to imagine how technology could address a need or create a new opportunity in their community. They brainstorm, build, test, and improve their ideas while putting one principle into practice:
The day ends with a celebratory gallery walk where teams share what they’ve created.
AI Exploration Fests are designed as either a Grades 3–5 experience or a Grades 6–8 experience, with hands-on activities adapted for each age group. Dates and locations are flexible, and Techbridge Girls works with community partners to create an experience that fits their community.
Bring girls together for an unforgettable day that makes AI hands-on, human, relevant, and fun. Tell us about your community and let’s explore bringing an AI Exploration Fest to you.

"I feel like I was able to do something important."
"In the building challenge, they were able to apply innovation and critical thinking and see their ideas materialize and evolve."
"I saw girls of many backgrounds share ideas and ask questions. They weren't afraid to work with new things and people."
"I saw active participation of each girl in the group work, showing that they were not afraid of voicing their opinion."
Volunteer: Volunteers serve as role models and facilitators. All volunteers complete Techbridge Girls’ Role Models Matter training prior to the fest, so they’re prepared to create welcoming, engaging, and belonging-centered experiences for participants at this and future events.
Sponsor: Our corporate and community partners directly support youth STEM engagement and build authentic connections with local communities. Techbridge Girls invites sponsors to be active contributors to the event through mentorship, learning, community engagement, and financial support.
Host Site Partner: By providing event space within the communities we serve, our site partners make high-quality STEM learning experiences accessible to more girls. Host site partners also strengthen local STEM ecosystems by connecting Techbridge Girls with local educators, volunteers, community partners, and students.
