21st Century Girls Program
Girls experience nontraditional STEM careers.
21st Century Girls is a 4-day summer program intended to encourage and instill confidence in 7th-8th grade girls with aptitudes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and business subject-areas to enhance interest in high-end traditionally male-dominated careers. Program participants are nominated by their teachers.
The objectives of the program are to increase awareness of how STEM is integrated into 21st century professions and to provide a series of hands-on experiences for girls in related career paths. The program also seeks to introduce girls to local women who are currently successful in similar careers that will act as a model for aspiring young female professionals.
Since 2001, over 300 girls have participated in this program.
