Changing Lives: Our Alums - Techbridge Girls

Meet Honorary 25th Anniversary Alumni Chair, Aileen Iniguez
It’s been a 19-year run for Techbridge alumna, Aileen Iniguez. What started as a response to an invitation to enjoy free pizza became a life-changing introduction to STEM. After participating in Techbridge clubs and tours throughout her Oakland-based middle school, she decided she wanted to be the first-to-college in her family. In 2017, Aileen graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Applied Mathematics. She stayed connected to TBG’s vast network throughout her college experience and beyond, leveraging her relationships with TBG’s Board to secure her first job in 2018, when she began working for Chevron as a Business Analyst. With years of engagement in TBG and a data science degree under her belt, Aileen reflects that TBG “changes lives. It was a lot for a low income student like myself growing up in Oakland…I always tell people that Techbridge is why I’m into STEM.” We are honored to have accomplished Latina women like Aileen as graduates of our program and will feature her story throughout our Emerging Narratives Anniversary campaign.

We’d love to hear more! As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, Techbridge Girls is partnering with The Moth to record stories of Techbridge Girls participants.
TBG youth participants report being more curious about STEM electives and majors, confident in their STEM skills, and likely to persist in STEM.
TBG programs help educators to understand bias in educational settings, to use the engineering design process as a tool for STEM exploration, and to feel confident in presenting STEM concepts and activities.
I love that each lesson had a role model who was close to the students’ ages for inspiration. As a result, I felt that girls’ confidence was built. Girls believed they could achieve major feats.
