Our Story

Started by students who knew the feeling

In 2018, a local STEM event for girls was cancelled. Three Saguaro High FIRST Robotics Competition students refused to let that stand. In just three weeks, they built their own event from scratch, drawing over 200 attendees, 45 student volunteers, and 50+ Phoenix STEM professionals.

We know what it's like to be the only girl in a computer science class. That's exactly why we do this: STEM belongs to everyone, and we're here to prove it.
