When I look back at the year we’ve had at InnovateHer, I’m so proud of how much we have achieved, but I’m even more excited about what it’s telling us is possible next. Over the past year, we’ve reached 57,484 young people through schools. We delivered 156 activities, 77.6% of them led by our industry ambassadors, and course enrolments grew 26% to 2,890. Computing uptake has increased by 58.26% across all our partner schools.
But reach is only part of the story. We don’t believe one assembly changes a student’s career trajectory, and we don’t measure our impact by how many young people we reach. We measure it by what changes because we reached them. That’s why our new Impact Framework has become the method behind everything we do. It follows a young person’s journey through four stages: Awareness (“I didn’t know this existed”), Confidence & Belonging (“Maybe someone like me could do this”), Intent (“I’m now considering this”) and Progression (“I’m going to take the next step”). These experiences build on each other. That’s not coincidence, that’s intentional.
As technology, and particularly AI, continues to transform the world around us, making sure young people can see themselves not just using technology but shaping its future has never been more important.
The next generation of tech talent is in our classrooms now. Our job is to make sure they can see the door, believe it is open to them, and give them the support they need to walk through it.

“The InnovateHer Assembly completely changed my view of careers in tech. I learned the industry is so much more than just coding, and needs a huge range of skills.””
Student at Loxford School
“I see AI and tech as an option now. Before, I didn’t see different types of careers like that.
