Over 5,000 girls empowered
STEM Gems is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to building a stronger, more inclusive STEM pipeline by empowering girls and young women of all backgrounds to explore, pursue, and excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Our mission comes to life through hands-on exploration, mentorship, and exposure to 40+ real-world careers and inspiring role models in all four STEM disciplines. By equipping girls with the skills, support, and confidence needed to thrive, we help them envision their futures and take tangible steps toward becoming the next generation of innovators, researchers, creators, and problem-solvers—STEM Gems.
“Before STEM Gems, I didn’t know how much women had accomplished in science and tech. Now I know that I belong here too.”
“I learned that I can combine my love of art and technology into a real job—animation technologist. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Now I can picture my future more clearly.”
“I’ve always loved math, and STEM Gems made me realize that so many STEM careers are possible. I never saw myself as an engineer before. Now, I do.”
“STEM Gems gave me more confidence in STEM and helped inspire me to figure out what I want to do after graduating high school. Now I won’t wander aimlessly. I have a direction and a purpose.”
