Our Philosophy and How we work

At greenlight for girls (g4g), we want to encourage girls of any age and any background to consider STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) -related careers by introducing them to the world of science in fun and exciting ways. We envision a balanced world where girls (& boys) from any nation and of any age know they have the possibility and choice to enter the world of math, science, engineering and technology

In order to have an impact on our attendees, we demonstrate all the future possibilities, introduce them to role models in STEM, build professional development skills, and show them how fun learning can be.

We have a unique expertise in STEM and design thinking, and have experience engaging kids. We utilize an experiential learning pedagogy to break down complex subjects into easy learning and engagement techniques, and provide strategic design thinking methodologies that can help students to work collaboratively and develop ideas together.

We are a quirky, fun and enthusiastic team. Our motto is Anything is Possible, and we want to encourage girls to realize they can be anything, they can do anything.

Our strategy and goals in each region of the world have grown organically to correspond to the need in that region. From reaching into the community, providing science books and scholarships or bringing g4g into an inspiring workplace or museum, discover below a sample of everything we can do to encourage girls of all ages and backgrounds in STEM: :
