Research shows that while women are attending and completing college at higher rates than ever before, they still remain underrepresented in STEM fields.
The overall goal of the SciGirls Summer Camps is to engage a diverse population of Iowa girls in research-based activities that ignite interest and encourage careers in STEM. This grant will underwrite the participation of economically disadvantaged girls grades 4-6 scholarships to a week-long summer camp at the Science Center of Iowa and partially cover miscellaneous workshop costs.
