Many teen girls are captivated by science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) but don’t pursue their interest because they fear those topics are “only for boys.” Let’s fix that!
AAUW’s free STEMEd for Girls program, which starts July 7, was created exclusively for girls in grades 9 through 12, with a focus on girls of color, and the parents, guardians and caregivers who support their dreams. It will pave the way for girls’ STEM success in college and beyond.
This series of six lively virtual workshops will inspire teen girls in a supportive setting and show them they have just as much potential in STEM as boys.

The program will:
- Show girls how accessible—and exciting—STEM can be.
- Explore the variety of subjects they can choose as a college major, from astronomy to zoology.
- Teach girls about the rewarding and well-paying careers a STEM education can prepare them for.
- Pair girls with a mentor working in a STEM field.
- Engage parents, guardians or caregivers to ensure girls have the support and encouragement they need on the pathway to STEM.
Please spread the word to help girls nurture their interest in STEM and join a national community of girls and women excited about the endless opportunities that await. If you have any questions, contact stem@aauw.org.
