Attention STEM Educators, Program Directors, Corporate Sponsors, and Community Leaders!

Start a STEM Gems Club today for girls in your school, organization, or community group.

You can’t be what you can’t see. When girls and young women come together regularly to engage in STEM conversations and exploration, their minds are opened to a world of opportunity.
  • They are empowered to take on new challenges, to learn it’s okay to make mistakes, to learn from failures, to believe in themselves, to speak up and speak out, to exhibit bravery instead of perfection, to take calculated risks, to reject boredom, to conquer their fears, to go beyond.
  • With your guidance, you can lead a group of girls and young women to explore STEM careers and help strengthen the STEM pipeline with capable, strong, and confident girls.
  • Recruit a group of 7-25 girls and young women (boys welcome too!) and a passionate STEM Gems adult leader/ambassador, and start a STEM Gems Club today! Whether your club members meet daily, weekly, every other week, or monthly, remember that consistency is important.
  • Order the STEM Gems Books, Empowerment T-shirts, and Tote Bags for your club members.
  • Click on the button below to register your club. Registered clubs receive free STEM Gems Club posters to download and display in your school or institution. Registered club members and ambassadors also received discounted rates on STEM Gems events and summits.
  • Download the STEM Gem Club Discussion Guides and related resources (see below) to activate the next generation of STEM leaders in your community or school!
  • Read this wonderful write-up about the STEM Gems Club at Sagamore Hills School. Fantastic leadership by STEM Gems club ambassador Stephanie Spencer!

Why you should choose a STEM career in astrophysics, cybersecurity, mechanical engineering, statistics, and more! Hear from 12 STEM Gems!

Women need role models and they need mentors. Women who are successful should coach other women. When you have people like that as a good example to other women, change happens.
