Girls Inc. Eureka! is a comprehensive five-year summer and school-year program designed for girls and gender-expansive youth in grades 8-12 who are interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The program aims to empower participants in a pro-girl environment, helping them explore STEM careers, build lasting relationships, and prepare for post-secondary success. The summer component involves intensive programming on a college campus, where participants engage in hands-on activities and labs led by university professors and students. Past activities have included introductions to tissue engineering, nanotechnology, neuro biotechnology, mathematical biology, and building kinetic sculptures at a bike engineering camp. The program also incorporates leadership and personal development, sports, and swimming lessons. In later years, participants have the opportunity to engage in STEM summer internships with local businesses and organizations, gaining valuable professional experience and exploring various career options. The program emphasizes academic support, life skills, and career exploration to prepare youth for future success.
A typical day during the summer program involves engaging in hands-on STEM labs and activities on a college campus, led by university professors and students, with a focus on scientific discovery and exploration.
This program is best for middle school girls and gender-expansive youth entering 8th grade who are interested in STEM fields and seeking a long-term, supportive program to guide them through high school and prepare them for college and careers.
