The basics of engineering! Glimpses from our workshops in Delhi. These young women will take their learnings back to their Community Tech Centres and introduce girls and young women to the exciting world of STEM!
Award-winning scientist Ursula Franklin's research on technology, feminism, and pacifism is exactly the kind of vibe we enjoy! As she surged ahead in her field, she always fought for #WomenInSTEM, always used her platform to boost other women up.
@fattechy@WmnsJusticeInit@cnjfl_15@ajws@womenstrongintl The engagements have been fruitful!
We have heard the recommendations from the young leaders and are committed to a shift in funding.
Our key take away ππΎ funders should stop being protagonists and become the background workers.

@fattechy@WmnsJusticeInit@cnjfl_15 Young feminists have spoken and we have listened!
The engagement with young leaders gave us unique perspectives on the challenges and the limitations with funding programs. This will enhance our learning and support the improvement of our programs.

For transformative change, we cannot risk introducing more limitations.
βFunders lose sight of limitations of access & education. Funding requirements like proposal writings, log frames etc can be difficult & can limit access to fundsβ Rubi, @fattechy#WD2023#GFFatWD2023

15 young learners, 7 Leaders in training, and 2 Champions from our Delhi office - that's what our feminist network looks like! And everyone in this photo has the same goal - to master tech skills and stand on their own two feet.
It all started with photography classes, when Jyoti joined our #YoungWomenLeadershipProgram. Today, she is a member of our Management Committee. She believes in challenging societal norms and prove that anyone can excel and thrive in any field they choose.
What makes our Community Tech Centres special is that they're spaces for learning technology as well as ownership π» π€ Each participant is equally responsible for using and caring for equipment and maintaining the centre. Here are participants setting up our Himachal centre π
#FlashbackFriday: March 8, 2016 β when we joined the #WomensDay march with our own special message: women's rights & liberation MUST involve improving our relationship with technology. The world of STEM is yet another male-dominated space that needs a major overhaul.
βI want to empower young women like us and create a better world for everyone," says 23-year-old Rubi, who started started her journey at FAT way back in 2016 as a participant in our #YoungWomensLeadershipProgram. She is a member of the Management Committee leading FAT.
