This initiative was designed to encourage more women to participate and excel in STEM fields, directly benefiting the female educators involved in AVELA's programs. Because of this initiative, AVELA helped double the number of BLNA women getting computing degrees from 2022 to 2025. An AVELA staff member helped facilitate the partnerships.
