She's also excited about math and science and will be enrolled in an accelerated 8th-grade program that includes advanced math and science classes. I don't think she would have been as confident and passionate about the accelerated program if she hadn't been in the BGDSTEM.

Experiential Learning Field Trips provide girls an opportunity to see and learn in a real-world STEM environment. Through hands-on experiences on-site with professionals in the field, they report learning more about the day-to-day work within that career field.
