Project Scientist partners with schools, libraries, and nonprofits nationwide to ignite and cultivate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) confidence in marginalized and underserved girls. By delivering high-quality STEAM experiences, it provides access to education and gainful career pathways that expand professional opportunities and awareness.
