Imagine her taking on some of the biggest challenges and problems our planet faces—and helping solve them. Or having a career that’s engaging and well paid. Imagine her teaming up with others to invent the future.
That future can be a reality, thanks to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Research shows that girls are keenly interested in STEM and excel at it. Yet, for a variety of reasons, girls often don’t pursue STEM—starting as early as elementary school.
But we can change that! Let your girl see that STEM can help her make the world a better place! Girl Scouts who participate in girl-focused STEM programs:
- Become better problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and inspirational leaders
- Get better grades, earn scholarships, and follow more lucrative career paths
- See STEM as the foundation for a meaningful and successful future
Perhaps she’d like to…build a robot, create an app, invent a medical device, develop a video game, design a car, protect the world’s wildlife, send a spacecraft to a faraway galaxy, cure a disease, keep the ocean clean, study the stars…the possibilities are truly endless!

TechnoQuest
Girl Scouts, troop leaders and STEM professionals interested in working with Girl Scouts can attend or help facilitate TechnoQuest! TechnoQuest is an annual event held in the fall where Girl Scouts can participate in hands-on STEM activities, meet women STEM professionals, and meet other Girl Scouts interested in STEM! Troop leaders can attend and receive trainings, learn to facilitate Journeys, badges, and outdoor adventures. And of course, we couldn’t do it without our facilitators!
