Marina Bloomer, center, founded Stellar Girls Tech, a nonprofit to encourage girls to pursue degrees in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. She's with, from left, Victor Glover, Bob Behnken, Eric Boe and Suni Williams, all part of SpaceX.
Attendees of a Stellar Tech Girls camp learn about chemical reactions through doing. The nonprofit offering STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) camps, workshops and after-school programs curated for girls and non-binary children ages 9-14 "builds girls of confidence to engineer the future,” says founder and aerospace engineer Marina Bloomer.
Seventy percent of middle school girls express interest in STEM, but only 15% of the engineering workforce is female. Marina Bloomer, founder of Stellar Tech Girls, is eager to reverse that trend.
