Dream Big, Explore STEAM
Girl Power introduces girls in grades 3-8 to what's possible with STEAM. Through hands-on workshops, activities and opportunities to hear from a diverse group of local, female professionals, Girl Power ignites a curiosity for the sciences and empowers girls to follow their dreams.
You may look at your little girl now and think she doesn't need to worry about a job or career just yet—but these early moments of exploration and play are where big dreams begin. Impactful STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) experiences make a difference. It's where children gain the skills they need for exciting careers of the future.
