We are here for your future scientist.
Project Scientist is a national education non-profit that helps ALL girls discover the fun and excitement of science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
We are here for your future innovator, inventor, engineer, mathematician, researcher and scientist!
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to ignite and cultivate STEAM confidence in marginalized and underserved girls. By delivering high-quality experiences in science, technology, engineering, arts and math, we provide access to education and gainful career pathways that expand professional opportunities and awareness.
OUR PROMISE
She'll be ready. Project Scientist prepares girls for a STEM confident future by creating introductions to professional women in the field, expeditions to top STEM employers and universities, and hands-on activities delivered by credentialed and Project Scientist certified teachers.
OUR VISION
Our vision is a future where girls* and women have equal access to pursue their STEM education, careers and leadership aspirations, in a society that recognizes and harnesses the innovation generated by tapping into the full spectrum of gender, racial and diverse identities.
Our goal is to provide 1 million high-quality STEAM experiences by 2040. We will do this by:
-
serving 500,000 under-resourced and marginalized girls in the communities where they live
-
training 5,000 elementary teachers in math, gender, and racial equity teaching strategies
-
engaging 4,000 STEM professionals to serve as role models and STEM advocates
-
partnering with leading companies and universities to create high-quality and relevant content and experiences
-
tracking outcomes and impact through pre and post-evaluations, longitudinal tracking, and third party oversight.
*While we focus on students who identify as girls, we are dedicated to serving children of all gender identities and expressions.

This is a big opportunity for girls…It makes you think more about earth and about how many things you can change through science. I want to be a surgeon because I love helping people. I think everyone can change the world.
