GWATA's mission is to bring people and technology resources together to create a thriving community.

GWATA serves as the co-director of the Apple STEM Network, a collective impact initiative to clear a pathway and secure resources for students to build STEM fluency, thereby opening the door to new careers. GWATA works to increase STEM awareness, promote career connected learning, support the transition of students from K12 system into post-secondary pathways, support teachers with resources, and provide a way for industry and workforce to connect into the K12 system. GWATA hosts over 30 events per year, the largest of which are the Innovator Awards Luncheon, The Flywheel Investment Conference, and the Wenatchee Mini Maker Faire.
