Eureka!

Eureka! is a five-year college and career readiness program that builds girls’ STEM confidence and introduces them to STEM careers. Rising 8th graders commit to the program for 5 years as they complete summer programs and workshops throughout the school year. Girls are exposed to STEM by female mentors who not only help girls intellectually but they also attend to the “whole girl” as well.

Each year of the program looks different as girls grow and further their STEM background.
