Our STEM Summer Programs are introducing kids and young women to a wide-range of skills and experiences designed to help them become inspired by STEM. The Programs are removing the high cost factor by securing 5 spots per week to low income families and offering subsidized cost to all kids and young girls in the program.

communities
Ø Only able to attend 1 or 2 camps per
year

Ø Fast-paced & limited
Ø Not relating to industry professionals
Ø Usually offered for mainly boys or just
girls separating the genders from a
young age

impact
