What to expect

Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT is connecting everyday devices (sensors, machines, home appliances) to the internet so they can collect data, communicate, and work smarter. At sheCircuits, we use IoT to solve real‑world problems in our communities.

Message from the Founder

At sheCircuits , we believe that every girl deserves the chance to explore, create, and innovate with technology. When I started this journey, my vision was simple; to open doors for young women to see themselves not just as users of technology, but as builders, inventors, and leaders in it. Our programs are more than just skills; they are tools that empower us to solve real problems in our communities and shape the future we want to see.

Through sheCircuits, I want every participant to know that they belong in tech, that their ideas matter, and that their creativity can light the path for others. Our community is a multiverse designed to rewire possibilities and inspire a new generation of women in STEM.
