Scientific Adventures for Girls delivers afterschool STEM programs to TK-6th grade students, with a special focus on girls of color from low-income families and communities. The program offers girls-only programs and co-educational classes in library and camp settings. It uses the “6 C's of Being a Scientist” framework: Curious, Creative, Confident, Collaborative, Committed and Changemaker, and focuses on fun, hands-on learning that fosters girls’ inventiveness and intuition. The organization deems out of school time as a critical opportunity to spark, grow and sustain interest in STEM, and strives to make programs accessible, fun, and supportive. Scientific Adventures for Girls values inclusiveness and is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
Tiffany Sprague and Courtenay Carr Heuer, mothers of young daughters, started Scientific Adventures for Girls, and both are experienced professionals in nonprofit management. Scientific Adventures for Girls has served over 10,000+ children and families across 37 school sites through all of their STEM programs in the San Francisco East Bay area. They work with families, school districts, after school agencies, corporations, public libraries, politicians, and universities to address the gender and minority achievement gap in STEM, and they received support from Hoops 4 Kids as part of a gift supporting 8 organizations. They invite companies and role models to get involved and provide opportunities for employees to volunteer in Scientific Adventures for Girls classes as role models in STEM.
A parent testimonial states, “My kindergartener has had so much fun during her time with SAfG. She is a budding scientist and that has a lot to do with your program. Thank you so much for your dedication to changing the face of science, so that it reflects young women like my daughter.”
