In 2021, with funding from the Indiana Department of Education, Girls and Guys STEM Institute (G&GSI) was developed under the Girls STEM Institute (GSI) umbrella to serve scholars in historically marginalized communities academically impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. G&GSI partners with school districts to provide interdisciplinary and socially transformative STEM and literacy learning experiences as an afterschool program and summer intensive ranging from 1 to 4 weeks for scholars in grades 3-8. Leveraging our current partnerships with community and higher education entities, we provide scholars opportunities to focus on their STEM Identity and overall wellness and well-being.
Through culturally relevant learning, scholars can develop a meaningful understanding of mathematics and other STEM concepts. Within our program's robust, relevant, and supportive context, young scholars have the freedom to grow interpersonally and intellectually.
