Mentoring Programs
Did you know: many girls lack confidence in STEM? Lack role-models? Don't understand what STEM means? We're here to change that!
Overview
Over a period of 4 months, Stempower connects groups of girls aged 8-12 with inspiring near-peer mentors from a local university. Our mentors travel to meet with your school, organization or club every other week, working through hands-on activities in STEM.
Each meeting lasts ~90 minutes and begins with a lesson developing classroom confidence - a trait young women tend to lack. We teach girls to be fearless, resilient, and active learners. They'll hear stories of inspiring women in STEM who are defying stereotypes, all while learning the fundamentals of these fields. Stempower provides the curriculum, supplies, and mentors; your girls provide the brainpower!
Our mentoring program culminates with visiting the local university, where your group will explore the campus and laboratories, engage in exciting demonstrations, and receive a Stempower certificate as a memento of the program.
