Girls Invent

Girls Invent is a unique innovation and business creation program that supports young women to believe in their creative ideas and progress these into successful businesses. THE FUTURE OF STEM EDUCATION IS HERE Girls Invent integrates STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) with real world entrepreneurial skills to create a dynamic and engaging program that increases girls' confidence and self-belief. By utilising evidence-based learning models girls are encouraged to tackle challenging real-world problems and become innovators capable of creating change in their own communities. Girls Invent recognises the need for equal gender representation within STEM industries and STEM education at secondary and tertiary levels. By connecting girls with female mentors and industry experts we offer a rich learning experience and a space where girls can learn and excel. By connecting girls with professionals in the field, they have the opportunity to establish role models who can demonstrate just where STEM can take them.
