Host an annual mixer bringing together women in STEM throughout the community to celebrate each other and learn about the initiative.
Recruit 50 founding members making a gift of $500 each to support girls programming.
Girls STEM Lab Saturdays: The Discovery will work with Collective members to develop and implement hands-on programming focused on a different area of STEM quarterly. The Discovery will choose four STEM topics and invite the members working in those areas of STEM to a meeting where they can help develop the curriculum for a hands-on program for girls in collaboration with The Discovery’s education team. Volunteers from the Collective will be recruited to facilitate STEM Lab Saturday events with support from The Discovery staff. The Discovery will purchase all supplies needed utilizing funds from member donations.
Girls STEM Career Fair (Keynote Speaker and Tabling Event): Each of our 50 Collective members will be given tabling space within the museum to engage with girls and other visitors to The Discovery. This engagement will provide an opportunity for girls to meet STEM professionals and be introduced to STEM careers they may not have otherwise known about.
Career Exploration at STEM Organizations: Should your company wish to sponsor the Collective, they will have the opportunity to host career exploration field trips and/or summer camps at their facility to introduce girls to their career professionals and career paths they might not otherwise be introduced to. The girls will have the opportunity to tour the facility, seeing first-hand the inspiring career possibilities.
