Girls STEM Institute

Girls STEM Institute (GSI) provides young ladies of color, traditionally marginalized in STEM fields, an opportunity to develop an understanding of mathematics and other STEM concepts in a meaningful and culturally grounded context. Within GSI’s rich, rigorous, relevant, and ​supportive​ context, young ladies have the freedom to grow ​interpersonally ​and ​intellectually. Through GSI, young women have access to powerful STEM learning experiences that challenge them to think deeply and critically. Our goal is to engage girls and young women in culturally grounded, inquiry-based STEM curricula through hands-on and minds-on experiences and instill girls and young women with the interest and confidence to pursue math or other STEM careers and engage in STEM-related extracurricular activities while providing opportunities to interact with STEM professionals
