The academic curriculum explores everything from robotics to coding, while also covering important themes like entrepreneurship and leadership. Instruction days are complemented with individual and group mentorship with women from a variety of STEAM paths, sharing their lessons learned and guiding the next generation toward a brighter tomorrow.
WiSci STEAM Camps are a safe, supportive, and girl-centered environment that encourages participants to take risks and build resilience through determination, developing young women’s confidence to take charge in their education and careers. Campers graduate connected with our extensive alumnae network, as well as with a wide array of personal contacts from around the globe. In the past, the camps have been hosted in Rwanda, Namibia, Malawi, Georgia, and Peru, making this its first iteration in the European Union.
