This is program is made for BIPOC girls and gender-expansive youth but all inspiring STEM inventors in grades 3-8 are welcome.
Ignite
Youth Inventors is an 8-session curriculum that inspires BIPOC girls and gender-expansive youth to become STEM inventors who change the world! Youth learn about young inventors, design and create their own inventions, and keep an Inventor's Log. Ignite engages students in STEM fields, fosters creative thinking and problem-solving, and provides educators with all the necessary resources. Unleash youth's creativity with Ignite and inspire them to be the innovators of the future!
Techbridge Girls (TBG) is an award-winning national nonprofit bringing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education to all girls across the U.S. For 20+ years, TBG has reengineered the way STEM education is taught, centering our girls’ brilliance and potential, emphasizing increasing STEM access, belonging, and persistence for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color) youth from systematically marginalized communities.
To equip girls and gender-expansive youth to persist in STEM careers, we support educators (teachers, out-of-school time facilitators, and volunteers) in delivering high-quality, comprehensive, ready-to-use, equity-focused, gender and culturally responsive STEM programs. By providing educators with our unique lens to STEM education, we can provide exponentially more girls from marginalized communities with award-winning STEM programming than we could through a direct service program model. Each of our services equips educators with gender and culturally-responsive teaching tools to engage families to support their youths’ persistence and connects girls to BIPOC peers and role models from STEM fields to inspire and encourage.
