Project STEAM Role

aspires to increase the number of girls of color exposed to, encouraged to participate in, and supported in STEAM career exploration. This multi-level initiative endeavors to give girls with a natural aptitude and curiosity for STEAM disciplines an opportunity to explore their interests. The project employs purposeful encouragement and fosters active participation from people of influence in girls’ lives. The project melds guided STEAM activities and interaction with women currently involved in STEAM educational pursuits and careers into a program that recognizes and addresses challenges identified through current research on girls’ interest and involvement in STEAM.
