STEM Marvels and Stories of Impact in 4 Countries

By Melissa Rancourt | Founder & Board President

Lisbon STEM Inspirations and Inventions
Lisbon STEM Inspirations and Inventions

Did we inspire more than 500 girls in the last three months - or, did they inspire us?!!   

Whenever we get the chance to bring our STEM learning fun to girls around the world, this is what we turn to each other and say, "WOW, these girls were amazing!  They inspire us so much!"  And we're so thrilled that they say the same at the end of the event. 

In fact, 94% of the girls who attend tell us that, because of the event, they are inspired to learn more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

What an amazing last few months with our greenlight for girls activities around the world!  Where?  4 Countries - UK, US, Portugal, and Italy - were the locations of our biggest g4g events during this time.  The cities?  London, Bridgewater, Lisbon, and Treviso were our host cities.  The girls?  500 girls, ages 10 to 16 years old, across various backgrounds, schooling, cultures, and needs took part in these day-long STEM learning events.  The role models?  250 women and men, young g4g ambassadors, from several companies, organizations, and universities shared their knowledge, career path, and wisdom.

Your support helped to make this happen!

We are very priviledged to work with amazing global partners who make it possible to plan and realise an event.  Our partners these past few months include:  AIG, Bridgewater State University, Loughborough University, OLX, Applied Materials, H-Farm International Schools, and more!  TOur global partners support the funding, resource, and location needs - and with your individual and company help through globalgiving, we are able to reach girls across communities to give this special opportunity for learning about STEM studies and careers.

A few Special STEM Marvel(ous) Moments and Stories of Impact

  • 40 Sustainable Inventions were creatively constructed and pitched in teams at our event in Lisbon.
  • In London, four women who were participants (at the age of 12!) at our earliest g4g events 15 years ago joined us to share their STEM professions with the girls and how g4g helped them to set their paths ablaze to where they are now. 
  • This year is our 15th year since we began - and our event in southcoast massachusetts celebrated their 15th year of reaching more than 1500 girls in the area!
  • That moment in Treviso when one of the team at the school asked us -- do you think the girls would like to have their photo taken by our drone?  Umm, YES!!    

Thank you everyone for making these STEM Marvels and Stories of Impact possible for these young future STEM adventurers.  More to do!  Join us - Send your Ideas - Encourage an ambassador - Support the next event!  72,000 girls reached so far.  Our next goal?  100,000.
