Cool Girls entering grades 2-6 will have fun learning how to start businesses from outstanding STEM and startup mentors who love sharing what they do. Each girl can generate ideas, do a market survey of campus passersby near the porch, draft a business plan, design a logo and build a prototype, practice networking & team-building, and present their ideas to potential funders. Our accelerator can inspire the girls to a high level of accomplishment, adventure and innovation.

Cool Girls Science & Art Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in and led by girls since 2008. Our mission is to engage young girls
from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in entrepreneurship, Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (e-STEAM) so they
have the desire, confidence and skills to sustain their contributions to the community throughout their personal, academic and professional
journeys. During the school year, we meet after school for hands-on, inquiry-based experiments requested and evaluated by the girls.
Partial scholarships are available. No girl is turned away for financial reasons.•
