Black Girls Do STEM

Black Girls Do STEM Join us in shaping the future.

Black Girls Do STEM empowers Black girls through scholarship, mentorship, and hands-on training in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, building the next generation of innovators and changemakers. Black Girls Do STEM is committed to empowering the spirit of innovation within every Black girl and inspiring them to see themselves as future scientists, engineers, and innovators. Through community outreach and hands-on, workshop-based programs, we create opportunities for Black girls from urban communities to explore STEM in an integrated and engaging way. Our STEM Saturday Academy nurtures curiosity in middle school girls through monthly sessions filled with interactive learning, while our Empowerment, Preparation, and Placement program supports high school students with ACT prep, tutoring, mentorship, internships, and more. By providing these experiences, we aim to actively close the gap between Black female scientists and the broader STEM world, giving Black girls the chance to step into the forefront of the next wave of scientific discovery. Girls in grades 6–12 can join our programs to grow their confidence, explore new possibilities, and connect with inspiring mentors. Community support makes this work possible: donations fund scholarships, resources, and experiences, while volunteers provide vital mentoring and event support that help close the gap in STEM.

🌸✨ Celebrating Bask & Bloom for Investing in the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs! ✨🌸
We’re excited to celebrate Bask & Bloom, a local hair brand that is showing up for young people in a BIG way as a $2,500 Youth Entrepreneur Sponsor of Black Girls Do STEM’s 2026 End-of-Year STEM Showcase: An Afternoon in STEM🎉

Their support is more than a sponsorship—it’s an investment in the creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial potential of our youth. This will allow our Cosmetic Showcase led by our youth entrepreneurs to thrive and you want to make sure you are in the room and do not miss the brilliance on display.

At BGDSTEM, we believe STEM isn’t just about what happens in a lab. It’s about creating, innovating, solving problems, building businesses, and turning curiosity into opportunity. Our youth entrepreneurs are learning to see themselves as creators and changemakers—and partners like Bask & Bloom help make that possible. 💗

Our youth spent 4 months learning about Entrepreneurship through the product development lens, come and learn more about their take-aways!

Thank you, Bask & Bloom, for believing in our girls and supporting the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and STEM changemakers in beauty and beyond!

🌸 Local brand. Local investment. Lasting impact.

Join us in celebrating Bask & Bloom and all of the incredible partners investing in our youth!

💗 Capturing their brilliance.

💗 Capturing their joy.

💗 Capture their essence.

Is what makes an Afternoon in STEM a moment to remember ✨

Shout out to menaderre and everydaybloom for the continuous partnership to help us capture a moment that is truly hard to put into words! The moment when the light comes on in a young person's mind, when their confidence shows, and their joy vibrates. We are happy to have you in the room for a 4th year to capture this moment with and for our youth!
