The Node Foundation

Hello, world.

We upskill female students from all backgrounds with an interest in tech and AI, preparing them for university, apprenticeships and beyond.

Why do we exist?

Only 1 in 20 IT engineers are women, versus 1 in 3 in less technical roles like project management - the gap is technical, not aspirational. (BCS, Diversity Report Series)

Just 22% of AI and data professionals are women, despite women being half the UK population. (The Alan Turing Institute)

The upside is the interest is there.

The Chartered Institute for IT reports AI-related degree applications from young women are rising faster than almost any other field.

The pathway just isn’t there yet, so we are.

Software. Quant. AI. Data.

If that’s the goal, this is the way in.

We build on three
nodes.
