Welcome Teachers!

About us and what we do.

InnovateHer is on a mission to get girls ready for the tech industry and the tech industry ready for girls. We inspire students towards a future career in tech by igniting their interest, empowering their abilities, and exhibiting a route in tech for them.

We run tech-focused activities with schools for free, targeting students aged 13-17.

Most of our activities are run online, meaning any school can access the InnovateHer content regardless of location.

Our courses have been designed to reach Gatsby Benchmarks (4,5 & 6) and are linked with the curriculum to allow you to plug and play in a classroom or after school club.

Get your students to learn the basics of Coding, Cyber Security, and even UX Design!

How does it work?

Our philosophy is to inspire the next generation, giving students access to big brands, female and non-binary industry role models, new skills and career inspiration.

Ways to be involved:

• Register your students on InnovateHer Online
• Use our courses in your ICT and STEM-focused lessons
• Start an after-school club

We also offer connections with our Ambassadors and Partner Role Models. This is great for anyone wanting to:

• Organise a Career Talk
• Have a tech brand attend a careers day
• Help your students organise work experience and future career opportunities, including apprenticeships

Being matched with our Partners

Some of our schools will be specifically matched with a Partner. This is an amazing opportunity to get exclusive access to a big brand and all their knowledge.

Schools who are matched, in addition to all the above, will get:

• Direct access to one of our partnered brands
• Inspiring assemblies, in person or online, with your matched brand
• In-person and bespoke activity with the brand, such as career advice, potential work experience, and even a site trip!
• Potential apprenticeship talks and mock interviews
• First access to our new courses – with the chance to feedback and help us make our courses even better

We will try our best to match you with a partner. It depends on location, availability and funding amount. We match schools who are local to a partner. The aim is to develop a longer-term relationship with that brand or partner so the impact is greater for the local area and community.
