The mission of the Girls in STEM Club is to expose girls ages 8-18 to new experiences and opportunities in STEM and help to encourage them to explore careers in STEM related fields. Through hands-on activities and challenges centered on STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) topics, our goal is to encourage girls to create, explore, test, and share new ideas.

Girls between the ages of 8-18 are eligible to become members of GIS. No prior knowledge or experience in STEM is necessary to join, just a curious mind and an enthusiastic attitude. There are no fees to be part of the Columbia Memorial Space Center’s GIS network which includes resources, the Girls in STEM summits which bring all chapters and members together, and other special events.
