The goal for GIRLSFORSTEMUSA INC. is to increase the representation and visibility of girls and women in the STEM field by creating a safe space where girls can learn about STEM, talk about their interests and connect with others who share similar passions.
Stem subjects and careers are often seen as “boys” subjects. However, there are many amazing women who are excelling in these fields. In fact, there are even more female scientists than male ones.
We want to change that. Our goal is to inspire young girls to pursue STEM subjects and careers. We want to encourage them to follow their dreams and become the next generation of leaders.
Our first step was to create a Youtube channel where we could share our stories and talk about the importance of STEM subjects and careers.
We have three major programs running on our YouTube Channel
This show is for parents who are looking for inspiration, information about stem and how they can help their daughters be successful in this area. This program has been very well received and it's growing every week!
We also create content by interviewing little girls from around the world who love STEM subjects and what inspires them. These interviews give us insight into why some people choose to study STEM subjects while others don't.
Finally, we created a series called "Women Who Inspire" which features inspirational female scientists, engineers, mathematicians, doctors, etc. The idea behind this video is to showcase amazing women doing incredible things.
One of our most popular Youtube program is the STEM Hangout where we feature different male and female engineers from around the country. These are real people just like you and me and they have amazing jobs!
These amazing people get to share their journeys through STEM and how it has helped shape their lives. They tell us what inspires them and why they love their job so much.
