North Allegheny School District is offering a STEM & Gems is a for-girls, by-girls initiative geared towards elementary school students to prevent the gender gap in STEM. In a rapidly changing world, we hope to break cultural norms, encourage young girls to pursue their passions in STEM, and inspire the next generation of bold, unapologetic leaders. This cost-free program consists of after-school, virtual, weekly, hour-long sessions with hands-on activities and experiments running from mid-October to the end of May.

Our curriculum spans a variety of topics in STEM ranging from introductory coding activities to designing spaceships; mini baking sessions to drawing tessellations; analyzing Minecraft to creating lip balm. The sessions consist of follow-along lessons, workshops, female guest speakers, discussions, and more!
