Registration is now open for Science Club for Girls Fall Virtual Science Clubs, which will be held online for 8 weeks starting in October. All girls and those who identify with girlhood in the greater Boston area in Grades K-12 are welcome to apply to be a Participant (Grades K-8) or Junior Mentor (Grades 8-12). Choose a one-hour time slot from among these: 4PM-5PM on Mondays OR Tuesdays OR Fridays (starting the week of October 4), OR 10:30AM-11:30AM Saturdays (starting October 16). A total of 350 places are available, and priority will be given to those who are underrepresented in STEM (i.e., those of color, demonstrating economic need, and/or are first generation college bound). Participants need to have a smart phone, tablet, or computer with Internet access, and all other club materials will be provided free of charge.

SCFG also seeks adults who are studying or working in STEM fields to apply to be Volunteer Mentors for Science Clubs — either the virtual clubs described above or SCFG’s in-person clubs, which are at locations with closed registrations. Mentors commit to teaching hands-on explorations in STEM in Grades K-8, for two hours a week over 8 weeks, in collaboration with Junior Mentors who are in Grades 8-12..
