STEM+

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is one of the four areas that form the foundation of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Variations on STEM (STEAM with arts, STREAM with reading, STEEM with entrepreneurship, etc.) are embraced throughout Girl Scout STEM programming.

Why STEM Matters

When girls participate in Girl Scout STEM programs, they benefit in four important ways:

• STEM Interest—Girls are excited about STEM subjects and want to learn more about them.
• STEM Confidence—Girls have confidence in their STEM skills and abilities.
• STEM Competence—Girls think scientifically to solve problems.
• STEM Value—Girls learn the importance and relevance of STEM to people and society.
