Girlstart is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering girls through hands-on STEM education. Since 1997, Girlstart has created engaging programs that build confidence, curiosity, and STEM skills through After School, Summer Camp, Community STEM events, and Girls in STEM Conferences. By providing meaningful STEM experiences during the critical elementary and middle school years, Girlstart helps girls see themselves as capable problem-solvers, innovators, and future STEM leaders.
