Dear friends, families, and supporters,

With deep gratitude, we share this important update from G.O. B.I.G.

After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision not to open G.O. B.I.G. as a charter school. We faced numerous challenges to our startup plan, and it became clear that pausing our efforts now was the most responsible choice for our families, staff, and community.

However, while this chapter is ending, our mission is not.

We are proud to share that the GO BIG Foundation will continue to carry out our mission by creating and facilitating innovative STEM experiences for girls of all ages through camps, workshops, events, and other immersive, hands-on STEM learning opportunities. From programming to strategic partnerships, we remain fiercely committed to inspiring the next generation of girls to lead, create, and thrive in STEM.

We appreciate your unwavering support and hope you continue to stand with us in this next chapter.

With tremendous appreciation 💙✨,
The GO BIG Foundation
