What is STEAM Girls? 

STEAM Girls is an educational opportunity empowering girls in Middlebury, VT with the world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Middlebury College students try to foster confidence by building learning opportunities for girls ranging in age from 5-18. We are very excited and grateful to announce that all of our programs are now FREE!
​

Our Mission 

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 young girls 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?
 

In previous years, STEAM Girls primarily focused on technology and computer science. Since then, we have expanded into various STEM subjects. We still include these statistics on our website because we believe these are important things to keep in mind.

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.
