ChangeMakers (6th to 8th grade, in-person)

ChangeMakers builds girls'* STEM joy, excitement, belonging, and agency through culturally-relevant story-based learning. ChangeMakers centers BIPOC contributions to STEM and enables girls to view STEM as a tool they can leverage to positively impact systems, their communities, and their own lives.

Our ChangeMakers, middle school girls* from 6th - 8th grade, participate in an exciting 12-week hands-on STEM program. The experience is shaped by:

• 90-minute scaffolded lessons with a story-based curriculum that builds ChangeMakers’ sense of STEM belonging
• Community Impact Project with hands-on opportunities to innovate and solve problems using broad STEM disciplines as tools; ChangeMakers harness their skills and build a sense of agency
• Role Models who give youth an opportunity to see themselves in a STEM career, building their sense of STEM Belonging and potential
• Educator and youth access to local Expanding Your Horizons Conferences
• Educators receive 10 hours of online training in hands-on STEM and equity education, participate in monthly Professional Learning Communities, and receive observations, coaching, and support from dedicated Techbridge Girls staff throughout the program
• Pre-kitted materials
