Safe learning environment
We encourage the girls to be innovators and risk takers. We believe that there are no failures, only solutions that are "more or less" effective.
Safe learning environment
tracking interest and open feedback
We are totally open to getting feedback from the girls to learn what interests them. We will also track their interest level periodically to gauge their level of interest.

Our Vision
A world in which empowered girls and women can confidently study, use and shape technology - and in which their doing so is both highly visible and totally unsurprising.
PRANATI BAGCHI, FOUNDER
I am a mother of a girl and a passionate educator with 15 years of teaching experience across The United States, India, and Singapore.
I founded The Lavender Spaceship Project because I want to give every little girl a chance to learn to code and develop computer literacy in an environment where they feel a sense of belonging. We have designed a program that is specially curated for girls - keeping their learning styles and interests in mind while exposing them to strong female role models in STEM fields.
​
I want to see that for the girls, making a meaningful impact through technology isn’t just possible, it’s to be expected. Will every Lavender Spaceship girl go on to a career in tech? Maybe not. But understanding the value of technology – how it works, and how to make it work for them -- means they (and the women they’ll become) won’t ever fear it.
