Why Girls?

There is a limiting amount of black women in the STEM industry both in the western world and in Africa. In Africa, many women are limited by social and economic standards preventing them from moving towards a STEM education, and sometimes education in general.

65 million girls are out of school globally.

At an early point in their academic life, many girls of color see the creativity and imagination drain from STEM curriculum. Science and math become only series of numbers, temperatures, and chemical components.

Systemic racism and gender discrimination is still a major issue that affects black and brown girls every day of their academic lives.
