Strengthen Local Communities with Libraries
We don't want every girl to end up being a computer scientist, we want every girl to use technology to solve everyday problems. That's the main goal.
Many organizations are intimidated by the prospect of creating STEM programming for young children, and even young women, but it can be an exciting and rewarding endeavor, with benefits that go beyond simply learning how to code. It’s a mindshift.
The InspireHER STEM partnership with USA local community led organizations, like the Richland Library, has prepared girls to pursue digital arts competitions, audition for acting roles in STEM TV programs, start community led initiatives in their school, form innovation clubs, pitch their innovative ideas, become avid readers and much more. It’s the confidence and the self-awareness on the power of their potential that girls can be global problem solvers using technology too and the support of their community that motivates us to keep going.
Through mentors, InspireHER STEM Trust connects role models and resources to underserved girls in rural Kenya and in the United States to give them equal opportunities they need to succeed in technology.
An important part of the international mentoring program is teaching rural and underserved girls about online safety and avoiding misinformation.
Mentors offer Technology resources, education scholarships, mentor in life skills and provide access to economic opportunities.
Thanks to Richland Library Sandhills, a future thinking and innovative learning center, for giving InspireHER STEM the platform and resources to inspire underprivileged and underserved girls to pursue technology careers.
