Hi There!

Come on in and make yourself comfortable.

Raising Smart Girls (RSG) is the best parenting resource designed for the parents of girls aged 3 to 12. Our mission is to demystify STEM for you and your girls and, by doing so, inspire a generation of fearless female leaders and innovators!

We meet you right at the intersection of parenting and education, to equip you with knowledge, tools and resources to raise girls that are confident, competent and have great character. ⠀

What is STEM?⠀
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. These subjects represent the tools for innovation in our current day. Although women are evenly represented in today's workforce, they comprise only 25% of the STEM workforce. Let's change that together!⠀To learn more, read our responses to the top 7 questions about STEM learning.

Who is the Raising Smart Girls platform for?⠀
RSG is designed for parents of girls aged 3 to 12. We focus primarily on moms, because of the key role they play in making decisions about which topics their children learn, and which career paths they later follow. Also, given women's low participation in STEM careers, many moms are unfamiliar and/or uncomfortable with STEM subjects. However, we do acknowledge the great impact on a young girl's confidence, competence and character when she has the full support of her father. So all dads are very welcome!!

 

How do you segment the broad range of ages that you serve?
Yes, 3 to 12 is a wide age range, and there are significant developmental differences within those 9 years. We segment our content by preschool [3 - 5 yr olds], school age [6 - 9 yr olds] and pre-teen [10 - 12 yr olds].
