About Girlstart

Nationwide, girls make up the majority of our school children yet take less than 17% of advanced placement test in computer science according to the Educational Testing Service. Girlstart was founded to educate and empower young women in math, science, engineering and technology through hands-on activities and role models. We collaborate with schools, parents, teachers, industry, higher education and other organizations to provide programs, resources, and strategies to increase the numbers of young women pursuing education and careers in math, science, engineering and technology.
