Case Study: TUNE House Program empowers a UW student’s journey into tech with TUNE

TUNE House Program champions women in tech with TUNE amid a 4% freshman CS interest gap

TUNE addressed the challenge faced by a university student navigating the significant gender gap and lack of community in computer science. The student, part of the TUNE House Program, sought a supportive environment to build confidence and pursue her ambition to create impact through technology.

The solution was the TUNE House Program, a scholarship and living community providing networking, workshops, and a strong peer support system for women in tech. Through TUNE's program, the scholar gained a crucial sense of belonging, expanded her understanding of the field, and built a powerful network. This empowered her to overcome barriers and stay driven in her studies, effectively bridging the gender gap on a personal level.
