Science Club for Girls

About Science Club for Girls

• A Cambridge nonprofit with a Commonwealth-sized mission

  Science Club for Girls builds excitement, confidence, and literacy in science, technology, engineering, and math for girls and gender-expansive youth from communities that have long been underrepresented in STEM, serving young people across Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston.

• Free, hands-on, and mentor-led

  Every program is offered free of charge and learned by doing, anchored in meaningful mentorship from women working in STEM today — so young people see a future in the field through someone already living it.

• Programs from kindergarten through high school

  Programming spans K–12: afterschool Science Clubs for grades K–8, a Junior Mentors program for grades 8–12, a summer rocketry program, a school-vacation coding club, and an AI and Robotics club.

• Why we partner

  Massachusetts' AI future depends on talent from every neighborhood in the Commonwealth. Science Club for Girls is building that next generation, giving young people the confidence, mentors, and hands-on experience to see themselves as the scientists, engineers, and AI builders of tomorrow. Boston AI Week is proud to stand with them.
