Girlstart increases girls’ interest and engagement in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through innovative, nationally recognized informal STEM education programs. To accomplish our mission, Girlstart develops and implements a range of innovative, research- and standards-based education and mentorship programs designed to promote girls’ early engagement and academic success in STEM, encourage girls’ aspirations and persistence in STEM education and careers, and incubate a talented and diverse STEM workforce.
Recently evaluated by Change the Equation as one of only four exemplary STEM education programs in America, Girlstart’s Summer Camp programs have consistently received national recognition. Girlstart Summer Camp is for girls entering the 4th through 8th grades. Girlstart Summer Camp allows girls to explore STEM in a fun, informal environment, and equips girls with STEM skills they will use for life. Girlstart’s camp provides unique experiences that develop a strong conceptual understanding of STEM subjects and increase participants’ interest in STEM activities and careers.
Girlstart cultivates a culture where risk is rewarded, curiosity is encouraged, and creativity is expected. As a result, Girlstart girls are connected, brave, and resilient. Girlstart makes girls more successful, and inspires them to take on the world’s greatest challenges.
Girlstart provides summer camps for entering 4th-5th grade and entering 6th-8th grade simultaneously. Camps will serve girls entering 4th through 8th grade the entire summer (regular and junior camps will be held in separate activity spaces).
