• Rebuilding Together Peninsula
• East Palo Alto Charter School
• Rosalie Rendu Center
Community Impact
By providing girls opportunities to explore STEAM (STEM+Art) concepts, we help them increase their confidence and expand their horizons so that they can fully participate in STEAM fields and in our local economy at a higher level. That is why we are empowering girls to be STEAM leaders of tomorrow.
Project STEAM
