How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Girl-Led Experiential Learningmethodology: girl_led_experiential_learningBy placing girls in active leadership roles through hands-on projects and outdoor experiences, we develop courage, confidence, and character because autonomy in real-world challenges fosters personal growth and skill-building.
- Hands-On STEM Engagementmethodology: hands_on_stem_educationBy using experiential, real-world connected STEM activities, we increase girls' engagement and persistence in science and technology fields because hands-on learning with purpose makes abstract concepts tangible and personally meaningful.
