Annual Report

message from
board chair

Dear Friends,
It has been quite the year for Science Club for Girls!
First, we are so proud of our high school Rocket Team – they were only
one of three teams in New England, and one of fewer than ten all-girls
team in the country, to qualify for the national Team America Rocketry
Challenge. The young women designed and built their own rockets, and
travelled to Virginia to participate in the finals. It was a life changing
experience for them and one that will propel and anchor them as they
move forward.

We have listened well to what our teens, especially those who are
have passed through our programs are telling us – that we need more
rigorous and varied STEM programming for them. Our experienced
and creative staff have responded accordingly: they created a summer
career exploration program, where teens investigated and learned
about a different STEM industry each week. During the school year,
we piloted two new technology programs: a mobile app programming
for high school girls who had little previous exposure to technology,
and an electronic textiles module (Monster Programming) for middle
school girls. We expanded the Girls with a Z: Adventures with Zebrafish
program, and created a new research internship program for juniors and
seniors. One entered her project into the Massachusetts State Science
and Engineering Fair. Rest assured, our K-7 Science Clubs are still going
strong, as are our Junior Mentor program. The demand for the former is
high and we have had to turn away girls, and say no to new partners.

What we know is that there are many girls who are eager and will take
advantage of opportunities to connect with like-minded young women,
to find mentors in older women who are further along in their life paths.
And we know our programs work. Our surveys of 4-6th graders this
year show that we are changing girls’ minds about their minds and
their futures. And our alumnae survey demonstrates our impact. We are
willing to build the pathways to a fulfilling life now and in years to come.
We hope you will join us in providing the resources and connections to
do so.

Sincerely,
Uche Amaechi, Board Chair

our mission

Science Club for Girls fosters excitement, confidence,
and literacy in STEM for girls1 from underrepresented2
communities by providing free, experiential programs and
by maximizing meaningful interactions with women3 in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Though strides have been made, there remains enormous work to be done to enable and empower girls
and young women from underrepresented groups to have the opportunity to enjoy the excitement,
confidence and literacy of STEM.

call to action

Thank you for all the many ways you support our mission to foster excitement, confidence and literacy in
STEM for girls from underrepresented communities. If you’d like to get more involved, these are the ways
your support can make the greatest impact:

Amplify the voices of diverse women and girls anywhere and everywhere you can. Follow SCFG on
social media and share our messages among your own networks; be an ally and advocate in your own
workplaces and communities. To join an organized group of SCFG advocates and champions, consider
getting involved with our Ambassadors program: http://www.scienceclubforgirls.org/become-an-
ambassador
Be a mentor. Whether that is in our afterschool clubs, in your own workplace or academic institution, or
through some other avenue, we can all use a helping hand, a listening ear, a guiding light. To become
a mentor in SCFG’s programs or to volunteer in other ways, learn more about volunteer opportunities:
http://www.scienceclubforgirls.org/volunteer
Contribute to the cause by making a donation to keep our clubs tuition-free for our girls and families.
Support of all kinds - financial and in-kind, individual and institutional - is critical for powering the
work we do. Give the gift of curiosity, confidence and community by making a donation: http://www.
scienceclubforgirls.org/make-a-donation

Thank you for your generous support.
With your help, Science Club for Girls is changing the face - and the future - of
STEM.
