Our Work

We provide STEM+ programming for Chicago high school students, scholarships for women pursuing post secondary degrees in engineering or computer science, and mentorship.

Our efforts are concentrated on front end investment in young aspiring engineers. We work to inspire young men and women enrolled in Chicago Public Schools to see themselves as capable, confident, and necessary in the 21st century economy and attractive to universities and employers right here in their hometown. 

We promote the wonder and precision of engineering exhibited all around our young people in their everyday lives, and demonstrate through example a pathway to a sustainable, rewarding, and essential career. We build alliances with other organizations addressing the same disparities in STEM so that our young people may continue to progress towards positions of leadership.
