Girls STEM Institute (GSI) is a transformative space that empowers Black Girls, to embrace their innate brilliance through STEM exploration. GSI is unique in that it focuses on the whole person through integrating STEM learning with overall wellness and well-being. We focus on the total development of the girl’s mind, body, and spirit. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Crystal Morton, our mission is to transform communities by empowering Black Girls to become leaders, innovators, and educators who use STEM as a tool for personal and social change.
Challenge, Empower, Transform
The goals of GSI are to:
- To transform communities by empowering Black Girls to become leaders, innovators, and educators who use STEM as a tool for personal and social change
Engage girls and young women in culturally grounded, inquiry-based STEM curricula through hands-on and minds-on experiences
Instill girls and young women with the interest and confidence to pursue math or other STEM careers and engage in STEM related extracurricular activities while providing opportunities to interact with STEM professionals
Empower young women to understand how STEM related concepts can be used to address inequities in their personal lives and community
- They will change girls of color, historically marginalized in STEM fields, to Black Girls
GSI partners with several schools and programs within IUPUI, local businesses, and various community partners to serve young ladies. Your donation of any amount will make a difference in the lives of the girls they serve.
