Triad Women in Science and Technology (TWIST) is a collaboration among colleges, universities, and secondary education in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. Its purpose is to develop relationships and opportunities that will allow Triad women and girls, from the 11th grade through college graduation, to see and to experience science, mathematics, and technology as attractive career options. While many of the TWIST partners have developed independent programs and initiatives to support their own students, most lack the time and resources to develop comprehensive programs that would guide and support women in choosing science as a career. Nor can most devote personnel to establishing the community linkages - with industry, professional science organizations, and faculty at other institutions - that could benefit their students considering science careers. The TWIST project seeks to coordinate and to assess existing programs among its partnering organizations; to develop new programs that will facilitate interaction among Triad women in science; and to foster integration of the education community with the larger scientific and industrial community in the region. The formation of TWIST allows the participating institutions to learn from each other, to share resources and experiences, and to plan effectively for a program that will benefit female students throughout the Triad. Each institution will derive strength and energy from working collaboratively.

科技三合会(TWIST)是北卡罗来纳州皮德蒙特三合会的学院、大学和中学之间的合作项目。它的目的是发展关系和机会，让三合会妇女和女孩，从11年级到大学毕业，看到和体验科学、数学和技术作为有吸引力的职业选择。虽然许多Twist合作伙伴已经制定了独立的项目和倡议，以支持自己的学生，但大多数人缺乏时间和资源来开发全面的项目，以指导和支持女性选择科学作为职业。大多数人也不能投入人员建立社区联系-与行业、专业科学组织和其他机构的教职员工-这可能会使他们考虑从事科学职业的学生受益。TWIST项目寻求协调和评估其合作组织之间的现有计划；开发新的计划，促进三合会女性在科学领域的互动；并促进教育界与该地区更大的科学和工业社区的融合。TWIST的形成使参与机构能够相互学习，分享资源和经验，并有效地规划一个将使整个三合会的女学生受益的计划。每个机构都将从合作中获得力量和能量。
