A YOUTH-LED non-profit inspiring the next generation of female leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Girls Do STEM was founded in Andover, MA in 2023 by Phillips Academy high school students to promote female representation in the STEM field. Since then, Girls Do STEM has inspired 200+ young women to EMPOWER, EDUCATE, and ENGAGE in STEM.
