About This Activity
Girlstart’s mission is to empower girls through STEM. We envision a future where all those who identify as girls believe they have the potential to change their world through STEM. Girlstart offers girls (and families) a fun, inclusive, engaging space to explore STEM. Our programs and curriculum cultivate a culture where risk and bravery are rewarded, curiosity is encouraged, and creativity is expected. Girlstart After School is a weekly program encouraging young women to believe in themselves and to pursue paths to higher education and greater career opportunities in STEM. This immersive program involves sequential, informal, hands-on, and inquiry-based activities in topics across the STEM acronym. Each session is designed to build girls’ skills in collaboration, creative problem-solving, and critical thinking, as well as their interest and confidence in STEM activities, studies, and careers. Girlstart After School is aligned with academic standards, supports STEM learning and provides additional hours of science enrichment for our participants. Additionally, we incorporate cross-curricular components, including social and emotional skills, to further support participants' learning. Thank you for allowing your student to participate in Girlstart After School.
