Eureka STEM Program
Breaking Barriers in STEM
The Girls Inc. Eureka! program is an intensive, year-round, five-year STEM-based initiative that empowers 8th–12th grade girls by building their confidence and leadership skills through hands-on opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math. Eureka! integrates summer and school-year experiences, connecting girls to the program early and supporting them through high school graduation and beyond. Participants explore STEM career opportunities, experiment with their interests, and develop leadership skills alongside peers who share similar hopes and dreams. Together, they set goals for success and discover they are capable of far more than they ever thought.
The Eureka! Enrollment Process has begun and are looking to recruit current 7th and 8th graders. Each year, 35 new 8th/7th grade girls are recruited to begin their 5 year Eureka! journey.
- The First and Second Summers: Girls will experience a four-week summer day camp on a local college campus, engaging in STEM, personal development, goal setting and healthy relationships.
- The Third, Fourth and Fifth Summers: Girls will participate in shorter summer camp programs, as well as internship opportunities, professional development training with the support of local San Antonio partners. Participants meet STEM professionals in all areas of the workforce and learn about possible career opportunities.
In addition to the summer component, during the school year there are monthly events, activities and field trips available to Eureka! participants.
