STEM-sational Resources for Girls

by Kate Loweth

The tech industry is booming in the San Francisco Bay Area but women are still woefully underrepresented in tech jobs. But the future is looking bright! There are tons of organizations that have taken up this cause and are working to bring STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs just to girls. By getting girls of all ages excited about coding, technology and science in general, the hope is that will lead to careers in these areas. Read on to find out what girls-only programs are available in your area.

Girls Inc. Island City

Girls Inc. Island City has been in the business of “inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold” since 1964. They offer after-school programs and summer camps for grade school girls (grades 1-5) as well as teen girls (grades 6-12) in the Alameda area. Through their Girls Inc. OperationSMART program, they expose girls to different fields of science and allow them to ask questions of adults with careers in the sciences in a nurturing environment. Older girls can participate in the Girls Dit It program where they they work alongside archeologists, making exciting discoveries that unveil the past and present of their communities and culture.
