Founded by visionary Dr. Sharon Jones, the foundation’s mission is to shatter the gender gap in technology. These students aren’t just learning code; they’re discovering that technology can unleash the “freedom to do anything.”

Through hands-on, real-world projects, they're showing young women that technology isn't just a career path — it's a playground of limitless possibilities. See how they connect math and science concepts to real-life applications, igniting a spark of confidence and excitement that extends far beyond the classroom. Through the application of Dottie Rose programs, students are realizing that what they learn in school actually matters in the real world. From game development to history and empowerment, these educational explorations are allowing students to understand how technology impacts their daily lives.
