Über uns
SCFG’s mission 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. With women making up less than 26 percent of the STEM workforce — and Black and Hispanic women at less than 4 percent — SCFG addresses a critical need, offering a continuum of engaging activities in STEM for K-8 girls, junior mentoring and leadership experiences for high school girls, and adult mentoring and role modeling by committed women with STEM careers.

Thank you, Moderna, for your investment in girls, young women, and gender-expansive youth here at Science Club for Girls! #WomensEqualityDay
We believe that education is key to lifting people out of poverty and creating a more equitable future, and we are committed to reducing socioeconomic inequalities in #STEM education for women. Through our Foundation, we’re investing in organizations like Science Club for Girls, who makes STEM accessible and exciting for girls and gender-expansive youth from underrepresented communities. By providing free, hands-on STEM programs and connecting youth with women-in-STEM mentors, these initiatives are not just teaching science — they're fostering confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Together, we’re building a fully inclusive and innovative ecosystem where everybody has the opportunity to succeed in STEM. #WomensEqualityDay
