NJSACC is proud to be the convening agency for The Garden State Girls STEM Collaborative. We bring together organizations and individuals that are committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, to encourage collaboration and improve inter-program communication. Our goal is to strengthen capacity, increase continuation of girl serving STEM programs and create a wider audience for gender-related STEM issues.
This year's STEM focused track will highlight curriculum and hands-on activities that are proven to engage youth. NJSACC and The Garden State Girls STEM Collaborative have selected presenters who are dynamic and who excel at "training the trainers".
