Research shows that an equal mix of females and males working collaboratively towards goals results in more sustainable and successful solutions. Unfortunately the statistics show female representation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields is under 20% and not improving. The Green Girls STEM Foundation supports, encourages and engages females and seeks to increase diversity. Our focus is Science, Technology, Engineering and Math with a strong emphasis on robotics. FIRST® robotics is a well-rounded program that includes all aspects of STEM along with outreach, presentation skills and engaging professionals in the field. It provides a forum for competition and completing challenges, while encouraging cooperation and support amongst teams. Our support for FIRST® originated nine years ago with the creation of an all-girls FTC team called the Green Girls. FIRST® taught the team about prototyping, requirements, design, CAD, robot build, engineering, programming, agile, fundraising, presenting, business cases creation and much more. FIRST® took the team places they never would’ve known. Your donation is a way to pay it forward to females and diverse students and teams by:

- Partnering with the STEM community to be the feeder program to other STEM organizations

–Introducing and socializing STEM programs, camps and activities to girls and diverse groups

–Educating others about the need for females and diverse groups in STEM fields providing examples of successful female professionals

–Teaching kids about the benefits of learning from failures

- Sponsoring teams and students through grants and scholarships
