Empower bright, talented girls in Chicago's Southland.

Every girl deserves the chance to explore, dream, and thrive. By introducing STEAM concepts and real-life role models, we break down barriers and ignite curiosity. When young girls see women who share their backgrounds succeeding in STEAM careers, they begin to see those possibilities for themselves.

Please join us in supporting Homewood Science Center’s Girls STEAM Celebration, a free STEAM career exploration event serving 110 middle school students from low-income Title I schools in South Cook County. Together, we can inspire the next generation of innovators, engineers, and scientists.

Last year, 79% of Girls STEAM attendees said the program helped them develop career and education interests.

Here’s what girls say about GIRLS STEAM:

“I love seeing all the different jobs and careers. They were fun to learn about."
“I thought it was so much fun and very cool to learn about all the career paths in STEAM”
“Really fun and intriguing. Loved seeing all the various careers I can pursue.”
