Women and girls remain underrepresented in STEM fields of study and in STEM careers. KID is on a mission to change that by providing young women with opportunities and programs that help them see themselves as STEM-capable students and global changemakers.
Maker Girls was created to expose more girls and young women to the kind of hands-on, invention-based learning that we know increases interest and confidence in math, design, science, technology, and the engineering process. By working with other young women, building competence through multi-week sessions, and focusing on solution-based efforts, Maker Girls builds a strong STEM foundation that students carry back into the classroom and beyond.
Thanks to funding from Infosys Foundation USA, Maker Girls also provides an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) to help young students get familiar with this powerful tool for creation and innovation.
