Mission Statement
Our mission is to get girls interested in math and science at an early age and provide mechanisms for sustaining that interest by providing a nurturing environment where they can be mentored by both their peers and other older girls. The key is to start them off really young and then continue the mentoring process of moving them up the ladder into great performers in math and science at school and other places.
About This Cause
The idea for this program started when we noticed that there were not many girls who were into math and science. If you go to any math or science competition and look up at the winners (generally the people who care about this the most), there will be one, maybe two, girls up there, if that. Even if you look at the people attending, most of the people there will be boys. As you go higher up in the difficulty of these contests, the fewer girls you will see. We also noticed that among our friends, the things they complained the most about were science and math. These would be the two subjects where they would be struggling the most, where they would need the most help. We noticed this, and wanted to change it. So, in the summer of 2012, we came up with the idea of mentoring young girls, so that this does not happen anymore. Our theory is that if you guide girls down the right path, with encouragement from all sides, then girls will enjoy math and science more.
