• Teaching and disseminating curriculum projects to youth, parents and educators.

• Promoting the interdisciplinary skills and teamwork needed for successful technology teams.

• Help corporations develop Corporate Nerd Girl Mentors who wish to organize volunteers at their workplace to conduct outreach to their local schools or conduct events like “bring your daughter to work” events. We help you jet start your events with proven approaches to inspiring youth about the value of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering.

Nerd Girl Mentors are traditionally Nerd Girl Team alumni who are now professionals or in graduate school. By the way, over 90% of all Nerd Girls go onto Graduate school!!! We also welcome industry mentors and other Nerd Girls enrolled in college programs.
