Curiosity
Look. Explore. Tinker. Ask. A sense of wonder keeps minds active,turn mistakes into adventures, and leads to innovation.
Community
Trust. Encouragement. Support. Healthy relationships erase boundaries between people, generations and nations.
Courage
Speak up. Step back. Embrace ambiguity. Leaders confront fears, act hopefully and communicate with radical candor.
STEM+
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics sharpen critical thinking and impart tools to realize creative ideas.
Love
Good citizens make decisions based in love for self; for others, local and global; and for the environment, living and natural.
A better world
We can imagine and create a better world through STEM and education, when informed by love, courage, curiosity and community.
Our toolbox
Exploratory Clubs
Small groups of girls explore STEM through hands-on practical activities, guided by trained teachers. They share what they learn with their schools and community. They expand their world through role models and field trips.
Facilitator Training
At workshops, educators practice constructive teaching techniques, embrace hands-on STEM explorations and commit to creating inclusive learning environments. In-person, messenger-based and online peer learning groups support their continuing professional development.
Exploratory Kits & Hubs
We provide several topic-specific STEM kits consisting of locally available, and/or low-cost materials, along with a curriculum, to trained teachers, for use in the Exploratory Clubs and their classrooms. The Exploratory Hubs will consist of a delivery system, a learning resource library, tinkering spaces, and training facilities, to connect schools with materials, learners with local experts, and rural communities with the world.
