EUREKA! STEM
Eureka! is an intensive, five-year STEM-based program for girls that demonstrate an aptitude and interest in STEM fields. Girls enter the program as rising 8th graders and make a five- year commitment to the program. Throughout the course of the five years, they participate in monthly meetings, summer camps, college camps, internships, externships, test-prep and intensive mentoring. Eureka! helps builds girls’ confidence and skills in STEM through hands-on opportunities, networking and unique access to resources. In keeping with the whole-girl approach, sports education, physical fitness, mental wellness, personal development, and college/career readiness are also included. In FY22, 70 girls participated in Eureka! Of those girls, 100% are on track to graduate high- school on time. 91% aspire to attend college. 95% are interested in pursing a career in STEM and 77% of them are taking high-school AP classes in STEM subjects.
PARTNER BASED
We also take the Girls Inc. experience on the road and offer relevant and timely programs at schools, community centers or other youth organizations. We work closely with administrators and teachers to provide targeted programming that is age- appropriate and helps girls with the most pressing challenges they are facing. In FY22, mental health/wellness and social media usage were two of the most frequently requested curricula. Programs were delivered both during and after traditional school hours. We worked with 37 different community and school partners in FY22.
