Millennium Fellowship Project: STEM Advocacy for Girls
Our project is all about empowering girls and letting them know there is a space for them to occupy in STEM. A big space as a matter of fact. we do this by mentoring them, organizing workshops for them that allow them to develop interests in STEM. Our main goal is to provide opportunities for these girls to thrive in fields where they are underrepresented and professions that people believe only men can thrive in
