Girls Rise Up is STEM From Dance’s three-week summer program designed for girls to explore the exciting world of STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Founded in 2012, this national program aims to encourage youth ages 8-18 to pursue a future career in STEM and build self empowerment during their formative years. This year students are learning how to create their own songs through use of programming, audio engineering, and AI. By the end of the program, participants showcase what they’ve learned in a performance that merges dance and technology – all created by them and their fellow participants. Girls Rise Up is an opportunity for girls of all backgrounds to level up their confidence, unlock new STEM abilities, and connect with a supportive tribe of like-minded creatives and technologists.
The final showcase for Girls Rise UP will be held at The Community Folk Center on Friday, July 26th from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
