Bringing Ideas to Life: A Creative Leap in the Tech Her Forward Program

Learning becomes truly magical when young minds get to see their ideas take shape. This spirit came alive last week in the Tech Her Forward program, where a group of enthusiastic girls stepped into the world of coding through Scratch, a playful and visual programming platform.

Through Scratch, learners created their own stories, animations, and interactive games discovering that technology isn’t just about commands and logic, but about imagination and expression. For many of these young participants, it was their first experience watching their ideas move, speak, and respond on screen.

More Than Coding: A Journey of Confidence and Creativity

The sessions did more than introduce programming. They nurtured essential skills that go far beyond the classroom:

• Problem-solving: figuring out why something didn’t work and finding creative ways to fix it
• Logical thinking: breaking big ideas into smaller, actionable steps
• Confidence: building something on their own from start to finish
• Creativity: turning thoughts, characters, and stories into digital experiences

This hands-on exploration is helping reshape how girls in rural communities view technology not as something distant, but as something they can create with.

A Collaborative Step Toward an Empowered Future

This learning journey is made possible through the collective efforts of QUEST Alliance, Fold Labs, Vidhyalay Udhyam Association – School Enterprise Network, and the Scratch Foundation, with strong support from the IndiVillage Foundation. Together, they are expanding access to STEM learning, inspiring girls to dream bigger, and helping them build skills that open the door to future opportunities.

Inspiring Tomorrow’s Innovators

The Tech Her Forward program continues to empower young girls to explore, experiment, and express themselves through technology. Each session reminds us that when girls are given the right tools and encouragement, they don’t just learn they lead, create, and innovate.

Here’s a glimpse into their growing journey one project, one idea, and one spark at a time.
