About the Greater Austin STEM Ecosystem
The Greater Austin STEM Ecosystem fosters deeper collaboration across networks and systems to ensure STEM programming is accessible to ALL students throughout Greater Austin. The learning-centered ecosystem leverages resources supporting STEM education while reducing duplication and amplifying individual organizations and their collective impact.

What are STEM Learning Ecosystems?STEM Learning Ecosystems provide the architecture for cross-sector learning, offering all young people access to STEM-rich learning environments so they can develop important skills and engagement in science, technology, engineering and math throughout preK-16.
Strong STEM Learning Ecosystems feature dynamic collaborations among schools, out-of-school time programs, STEM expert institutions (such as museums, science centers, institutions of higher education and STEM professional associations), the private sector, community-based organizations, youth and families.

➔ Are underrepresented in computer science and technology fields in terms of race, creed or background
➔ Have little to no access or exposure to computer science education in school
➔ Are Free and Reduced Lunch eligible
➔ Identify as female regardless of gender assignment at birth or legal recognition
OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
We believe that ALL girls are creative and able to make a positive impact on the world through computer science.
SISTERHOOD & COLLABORATION
MORE THAN CODE REAL-WORLD RELEVANCE &
IMPACTLearning computational thinking and computer science cultivates girls’ interests and prepares them for long-term success in computer science.
Positive and supportive environments both enable & sustain the learning process and longevity in computer science.
Interest-based learning enables and empowers students to make an impact in their communities.
