SPECIAL
Girlstart’s mission is to empower girls in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The world’s greatest challenges need new STEM ideas and insights. Half of the world’s potential ideamakers—women and girls—are discouraged from developing their ideas because of social bias or inequity. More girls with more ideas create more solutions.
Girlstart’s mission is to solve this.

TEXAS PIONEER FOUNDATION
Girlstart cultivates a culture where risk is rewarded, curiosity is encouraged, and creativity is expected. As a result, Girlstart girls are connected, brave, and resilient. Girlstart makes girls more successful, and inspires them to take on the world’s greatest challenges. We are honored that our programs have received national recognition. In particular, we are proud that Girlstart Summer Camp was recently identified by Change the Equation as one of only four “exemplary” and “highly scalable” STEM education programs in America.
