Mission Statement

Our vision is for every girl to identify as a MakerGirl, a girl who lives and dreams as an unstoppable force, saying "Yes!" to challenges of the future!

Description

MakerGirl is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) through educational 3D printing workshops. To date, since 2014, we have educated 7,000+ girls through our programming: in-person sessions, online sessions, #MakerGirlGoesMobile road trips, and with our high-school and college career development with our ChangeMaker program. A key component of our initiative is the ChangeMaker program, which focuses on career development for high school and university students. These young volunteers, whom we call ChangeMakers, play a crucial role in our mission by leading and running our online sessions and in-person workshops. ChangeMakers are our driving force to educate girls in STEM topics nationwide.
