Science, Technology, Engineering & Math

Engaging girls in technology is one of the most important factors in creating tomorrow’s workforce. Only 20% of engineering program students are female and only half of that number are currently employed as engineers! Girl Scouts offers a variety of programs aimed at bridging this gender gap. Our programs are focused on offering girls real world experience.
