Cadence Reunites With WITU To Empower Young Women

By monicafa Community Member

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 21, 2024 / Cadence's seven-year partnership with Team4Tech has given our employees unique opportunities to harness the power of technology and engage in a three-month philanthropic project to improve the livelihood of communities in need. In Fall 2023, this partnership allowed Cadence to reunite with a former Team4Tech project nonprofit partner, Women in Technology Uganda (WITU), on yet another transformative project!

Cadence first got involved with WITU in 2019 through another Team4Tech volunteer project.  Nick Heaton, Distinguished Engineer in the Cadence Bracknell Office, was a part of this initial team. After the project, he stayed involved with WITU, got them registered for Cadence's donation matching program, and organized a microloan fund geared towards helping women start their own businesses. Nick went on to champion a Cadence internship program explicitly geared towards women in Uganda. This went well; four women are now Cadence employees, and two new interns have just been onboarded.

We were pleased to have built upon our collaboration with WITU last Fall with a $25,000 impact grant. In November 2023, a global group of ten dedicated Cadence employees representing five different business units and 10 different offices in four countries wrapped up another exciting and impactful Team4Tech project with WITU, which aimed to empower young Ugandan women through technology and entrepreneurship.

The Cadence volunteers in the Fall 2023 project collaborated virtually for ten weeks and then spent two intensive weeks on-site at WITU's office and a local high school in Kampala, Uganda. The project was divided into three impactful sub-teams, each focusing on a specific area. The first sub-team developed a new website, the WITU Digital Jobs Center, to connect WITU women with employment opportunities. The second sub-team planned and organized a hackathon event at a local high school to get students excited about coding and STEM, including creating materials to help WITU repeat this with other schools they serve. The third sub-team focused on building a Makerspace for WITU with hands-on tech learning opportunities, including 3D printers, virtual reality, and Micro:Bit electronics. Through a train-the-trainer approach and by developing comprehensive systems and guides, the volunteers worked to ensure the impact is sustainable.
