More Information

Our free, hands-on science clubs for middle school girls take place for 1.5 hours once a week at public schools, churches, or community centers each fall, spring and summer semester. Volunteer mentor-scientists and adolescent Junior Mentors lead fun and interactive science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) explorations with groups of up to 15 girls. STEMinistas uses team-based design challenges to engage middle school girls in exploring STEM topics from microbiology to computer science to mechanical engineering. Teams working on a challenge over several weekly sessions using the engineering design process design prototypes, build models, and propose solutions. Teams present their final solutions, and the process they used to find that solution, including budgets, material costs, test outcomes, and revisions.

Fall 2020 Programming will take place over ZOOM once a week, over an 8-week semester. Programming is FREE for all participants. Activities are hands-on and all materials were provided and distributed at the start of the semester. Participants will need access to a computer (or device) with internet access.
