About Us

The mission of Science Club for Girls at MIT is to foster excitement, confidence, and literacy in STEM for girls and gender-expansive youth from underrepresented communities by providing free, experiential programs and by maximizing meaningful interactions with women-in-STEM mentors. Girls work with mentor-scientists who model and foster leadership and promote careers in science and technology as goals and options. Science Club for Girls will work to create a community of MIT undergraduate and graduate students dedicated to serving local Cambridge and Boston schools and generating enthusiasm for science through after school and extracurricular activities. Science Club for Girls fulfills a need at MIT for a volunteering opportunity that empowers future women scientists, and it fulfills a need of the Cambridge community for free and educational after school opportunities.
