Stemuses

STEMuses thrives to encourage young girls to pursue their interests in STEM careers. We understand that a lot of girls, especially in middle school, tend to lose their interest in STEM because of the societal expectations that the field is better suited for men. STEMuses strives to connect these girls with successful female professionals that are real life examples for the students and and can demonstrate that women can be successful in careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Our inaugural career fair will host accomplished professional women across an array of STEM careers and will introduce young girls between the 5th and 8th grades to a diverse set of professions ranging from science research, chemical engineering, computer science, and the vast array of medical fields. We also look to provide mentoring, academic support, and scholarship opportunities to girls with financial need wanting to pursue STEM majors.
