STEM From Dance is on a mission to empower girls of color with the skills, experiences, and confidence to pursue careers in STEM — all through the power of dance. Our unique approach allows girls to create imaginative technology-infused dance performances, such as costumes that light up, that they learn to build and code. Through these experiences. girls not only expand their creativity and boost their confidence but also harness the potential of science and technology to transform ideas into reality and ignite transformative change within themselves. We envision a future where the global STEM workforce is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, with women of color as bold leaders and visionary innovators.
