STEM Girl SuperStars/STEM Chiquitas SuperEstrellas

 STEM Girl SuperStars/ STEM Chiquitas SuperEstrellas is an empowerment program that takes a holistic approach to inviting girls age 14 and under to explore the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math to encourage engagement and study of STEM. This program invites girls and their families to increase knowledge of STEM, systemic barriers and cultural norms which discourage involvement in STEM, and intergenerational experiences of STEM. YWCA Greater Austin aims to reach the Latinx community, first time English learners, and other youth who have historically been underrepresented in STEM fields. 

Details

  • 6-week program which involves experiential work, influenced by Google for Education First Computer Science modules, complemented with examination of social norms and social emotional development.
  • Each weekly session is 1 hour (3rd – 5th grade) or 1 ½ hours (6th- 8thgrade) and consists of education, social discussion related to theme, practice of social emotional skills, experiential work, and processing. 
    • 3rd-5th grade will meet Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30 PM
    • 6th-8th grade will meet Tuesdays from 5-6:30 PM
    • Sessions scheduled to begin on Tuesday, February 2
  • Sessions are facilitated by a mental health professional and an invited professional in the area of focus.
  • Participants will be divided by elementary and middle school ranges.
