BlaTina Varsity Posse 2024 Cohort
Our first BlaTina program for high school girls started in January 2024. The girls met weekly to hear from women and people of color working in the STEM field. They also developed valuable skills through personal and academic coaching.

Tech Spotlight
Thank you to our Tech Spotlight speakers who shared stories of their career experiences with our cohort. Special thank you to Ty Walker from Eli Lilly, Lannie Terry from Girls Who Code, Tamara Lynette Markey from the Purdue School of Engineering, Taylour Treadwell from Eli Lilly, Joan Vital Day who studies at the University of Illinois, Cynthia Cardona from the Eli Lilly Foundation, Mariah Brown from Women and Hi-Tech, and Crystal Hill-Morton from the Indiana University-Indianapolis Mathematics Department.
BlaTina Varsity Posse really helped me with my leadership skills and taught me how to further develop my skills past high school. They also helped with introducing me to great connections and opportunities that I don’t see very often in other organizations.
