Science Club for Girls

This , help curiosity take flight!

A gift of just $20 can provide an E2X or Star Hopper rocket for a participant in Science Club for Girls' Summer Rocketry Programs.

Through hands-on rocketry experiences, girls and gender-expansive youth transform STEM concepts from ideas on a page into real-world learning. As they design, build, test, and launch their rockets, participants explore engineering, physics, problem-solving, and teamwork while developing the confidence to see themselves as future scientists, and innovators.

Each launch is more than an exciting moment—it's an opportunity to build resilience, curiosity, and a sense of possibility. Your support helps ensure every participant has access to the materials they need to learn, experiment, and soar.

This we’re spotlighting Sally Ride, physicist, astronaut, educator, and the first American woman in space.

Sally Ride’s historic journey aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger marked a turning point in representation within STEM and space exploration.

Following her passing in 2012, Sally was also recognized as the first known LGBTQ+ person to travel to space, adding another important dimension to her legacy and the ongoing conversation around visibility and inclusion in STEM.

Her impact continues to serve as a reminder that innovation is strengthened when more voices, perspectives, and experiences are represented in science and exploration.

"The future of innovation will be defined by who we invite in — and how early we start.”

Those words from our 2026 Catalyst Award honoree, Yvonne Hao, COO of Flagship Pioneering and former Massachusetts Secretary of Economic Development, capture the heart of Science Club for Girls’ mission.

During a fireside chat with Bonnie Bertolaet, SCFG Executive Director, and Dr. Sally Kornbluth, 18th President of MIT, Yvonne spoke about the importance of creating opportunities for girls and gender-expansive youth to build confidence, access, and a sense of belonging in STEM from an early age.

Yvonne also emphasized the broader impact of investing in STEM equity:

"Programs like Science Club for Girls are addressing these inequities, driving innovation, and fueling economic growth. I'm deeply honored to be recognized alongside leaders who share that commitment, and inspired by the future being shaped by Science Club for Girls."

We are grateful for Yvonne's leadership and commitment to creating a stronger, more inclusive future for our communities and workforce.
