Mission Statement

The mission of iBIO Institute’s EDUCATE Center is to deliver industry-led STEM programs for teachers and students, thereby inspiring the next generation of innovators and helping restore America’s leadership in technology education.

Description

The Stellar Girls program inspires young women to enter into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. Stellar Girls, developed by EDUCATE with funding from the Astellas USA Foundation, introduces girls in grades 3 through 8 to current, interesting, "Big Ideas" in STEM fields. Through weekly after-school program activities, girls explore how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are used to feed, fuel, heal and save the world. Girls engage in hands-on activities and have the opportunity to interact with STEM professionals and other volunteers to learn about STEM careers, apply STEM skills to real-world problems, and employ critical thinking skills through collaborative inquiry.
