A note from the program's founders...
All three of us, as girls in STEM, know the importance of empowering young girls in their STEM education. We have all been in the girls' shoes, experiencing "ah-ha moments" and fascination throughout our STEM journeys. Our program is hopefully a small step in the girls' STEM journey, as they learn to love science, technology, engineering, and mathematics throughout their educational and professional years. We are eager to start teaching the girls!
