STEMM4Girls (Science Technology Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) an International platform that gives more insight to all young girls who are intrigued by these fields, but do not get enough exposure to them. Our aim is to inspire young girls into pursuing careers in STEM by overcoming the stigma of today’s patriarchal society. We conduct weekly sessions with an accomplished female who is currently working in one of the fields of STEM. These speakers provide invaluable insights, elucidating on how they got into the field and what interested participants should do next. With such transparency, STEM4Girls advocates for equality whilst providing one with the best of the resources.
