Testimonial from Keystone Science School “Across our four Girls in STEM weekend programs, participants come to learn about STEM professions and leave empowered to enter traditionally male-dominated careers. The supportive, all-female/non-binary environment encourages participants to ask bold questions and enhance their self-confidence. A highlight of our program is the Mentor Connection Activity, where students engage directly with female and non-binary professionals, gaining valuable insights and inspiration. This interaction often reignites mentors’ passion for their work, fostering an exchange of enthusiasm and motivation across generations. We are grateful for the support from JP Innovation Project, which helps make these impactful experiences possible.” - Anna Graf, School Program Manager, Keystone Science School
