About the Million Girls Moonshot

The Moonshot is designed to spur girls’ interest, understanding, and confidence in STEM and equip them to  become problem solvers with an engineering mindset. Led nationally by the STEM Next Opportunity Fund and the
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in partnership with the Intel Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore  Foundation ,the Million Girls Moonshot:

• Leverages afterschool networks in all 50 states to help school-age girls access high-quality STEM education, support, and mentors.
• Uses an equity and inclusion framework that is youth-centric and culturally responsive to increase gender, and racial and socio-economic diversity in STEM.
  
• Provides resources, support, mentorship, and expert guidance to help educators deliver hands-on STEM experiences in afterschool, out-of-school time, and summer learning programs.
