International Women’s Day 2022
Imagine being a 16-year-old young woman having a patent-pending invention… This is what International Women’s Day is all about. Helping women of all ages succeed.
It’s a Girls World, Inc.
Most girls lose interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) between grades 5-8. Girls, in particular, lack the confidence and self-esteem to pursue STEM. Exposing girls early to STEM careers and providing them with confidence, mentoring, and business skills before high school is critical to providing a gender-balanced workforce.
In partnership with a Million Women Mentors, Salem Community College, Learning Blade, and others, Girls Word, Inc. is a program that focuses on young women entering 8th and 9th grades in Salem and Cumberland Counties, NJ. Girls World seeks to help these young women to:
- build confidence and self-esteem
- develop long-term skills
- pursue and be successful in their future career goals
- seek careers in STEM
These objectives will be accomplished through the students’ participation in a 3-year or more program that includes education and mentoring. The program includes:
- a 2-week summer camp
- courses in things like leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, etc.
- exploring career options
- developing and working on a business project
- competition via the Conrad Challenge
- participation in a community service project
