Girls in STEM Program

Mission & What we do

Our mission with the Autism Tree Girls in STEM Program is to empower girls of all ages to confidently explore the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in a welcoming and low-pressure environment. We focus on nurturing each participant’s unique strengths, encouraging creativity and collaborative problem-solving, and fostering a sense of belonging. Through our program, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for personal growth, building connections, and exploring diverse interests—whether in STEM or any other future paths.

Past Events & Our Impact 

At each event, we explore a new area of STEM through engaging, hands-on activities. Some of our past projects include building paper roller coasters, constructing functional hand models, designing 3D bubble wands, and creating intricate Rube Goldberg machines—and that’s just the beginning! Since 2016, we’ve proudly served over 149 Autism Tree girls across the San Diego area, inspiring creativity and curiosity along the way.
