Re-engineering the STEM Ecosystem
Program Goals:
- Improve the pedagogy and experience of STEM education
- Build confidence in delivering gender and culturally relevant curriculum
- Connect STEM education as a vehicle to impact social issues
Techbridge Girls’ unique approach to training and credentialing educators and STEM professionals centers around three areas of impact for girls of color: Equity, Socio-emotional skills and STEM practices.
Our professional development is combined with our STEM curriculum to inspire young girls to use the engineering design process to brainstorm, collaborate, and test solutions to problems.
Through the STEM Equity Learning Community (SELC), educators receive virtual training and coaching that provides strategies for engaging Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls and gender-expansive youth.
Award-Winning Curriculum
For more than two decades, Techbridge Girls has developed gender responsive and culturally-relevant STEM curricula that allows girls* to see their unique STEM lineage, culture, community and interests.
With our award-winning curriculum and evaluation system, we seek to ensure:
- Access to quality STEM programming that’s fun, hands-on, open-ended, inquiry based;
- Alignment with National Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that draws on girls’* interests and lived experiences; and
- STEM can be used to creatively solve problems in their communities and create social change.
- Girls* see themselves reflected in the STEM revolution, and confident in their ability to transform it.
