We want to teach girls at a young age to approach STEM subjects with confidence and curiosity. We believe that with visual based learning and strong female mentors we can engage girls starting at a young age to build confidence that will last a lifetime. We also believe in the power of collaboration and aim to create a supportive community of STEAM Girls!

why computer science? why are women
in computer science so important?
|
STEM occupations are growing faster than non-STEM occupations. Computer science makes up 60% of the projected STEM jobs and is projected to grow 13% by 2026. However, females study computer science at a significantly lower rate than males. Computer science is one of the only STEM occupations that has seen a decline in female representation. We believe in the importance of STEM, especially computer science. We believe that women must be a part of this movement.
