Our Mission
Our Mission
We created STEAM with a G to engage young girls during these tough times to continue participating in STEAM activities and learning about science! Attending a specialized STEM school has showed us the disparity between girls and boys in the STEM field. There are significantly less girls in each class and we are hoping to change that, inspiring one girl at a time. We use a lot of art in our activities to engage the girl while also incorporating science into it. Exposure to STEM at a young age is imperative to inspire young students, especially girls to explore and gain an appreciation for this evolving field!

Only 12.2% of board members in the information technology industry are female. This means that out of each 10 board members roughly one is a woman.
Statistics show that women in STEM jobs are paid an average of 89 cents per each dollar that men in STEM make. In some fields, the wage gap is even larger. For example, female chemists earn 30% less than male chemists.
Women Are Not Under Qualified

Test results from 67 countries and regions display that girls are doing as well or even better than boys in science subjects. This means that women are more than capable of occupying STEM positions.
The Stereotypes
The Stereotypes
In several studies, when children were asked to draw a mathematician or scientist, girls were twice as likely to draw men as they were to draw women, while boys almost universally drew men, often in a lab coat.
