It is important that girls have a chance to grow their confidence and experience STEM in a positive way. Otherwise less than 15% of the girls would go onto a STEM related career. Every girl said that they would feel more confident in an all girl class learning about STEM, as a result of the week every girl left feeling more confident about themselves and their abilities in STEM. That is amazing.
Quotes from the girls
“I had a fun time, so the only thing I could think of to improve the camp would be to have more days in the camp.”
“The camp was awesome”
“My favorite part was building stuff and learning more stuff I didn’t know.”
