Our Crowdfunding Groups
FEMTech is the first student organization at UC Berkeley to promote gender diversity and to inspire Cal students from all majors to excel in careers in tech. Through speaker series, mentorship programs, and networking events, FEMTech provides a supportive community for students of all majors and backgrounds to create meaningful connections with like-minded peers.
We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are critical to innovation in the 21st century. We hope to excite new interest in tech while providing support for students who are already in STEM majors. We bring together a network of talented students from various majors who can help form an inclusive workplace that is beneficial for all.
Over the summer and during the fall semester, some of our FEMTech members volunteered at Scientific Adventures for Girls, which focuses on getting girls at the elementary school level interested in STEM! We helped them with hands on projects, like the mini bot project pictured here! We're excited to continue volunteering for them and motivating this girls to stay interested in STEM!
FEMTech Berkeley aims to use crowdfunding to host our biggest campus-wide event this semester – FEMTexpo. This will showcase works created by our talented members since our club’s inception. We will display projects by our robotic and drone teams, as well as works that students have created in our self-paced coding sessions. As one of our largest events of the semester, FEMTexpo will feature a mini career expo, award ceremony, alumni speakers, and a networking session. This event is free and welcoming to everyone who is curious and interested in learning. *PLEASE DONATE TODAY AND HELP US MAKE FEMTEXPO A REALITY*
Being a nonprofit, non-exclusive student organization, FEMTech Berkeley depends primarily on donations and limited university grants for support - resources that cover only a fraction of the cost of just a single event with range in attendance from 50-200 students.
Associated with the insights, ideas, and voices of 3-5 speakers brought in by each debate/panel are the costs of such large-scale events. Your support is CRUCIAL!
