Rosie Riveters inspires the dreamers and doers of tomorrow. Our STEM curriculum is based on providing a productive struggle to build participants' critical thinking, problem solving skills, and overall confidence in STEM.
From age 8 to 14, girls' self-confidence falls by 30 percent. Initial engagement in middle school and high school is simply too late; at this point those participating in STEM activities have already self-selected to seek an opportunity at a time when others in their peer group are losing interest. Our goal is to provide meaningful engagement with STEM before the drop-off point.
