Million Girls Moonshot

West Virginia State Afterschool Network is proud to be a part of the Million Girls Moonshot initiative, working to inspire and prepare the next generation of innovators by engaging one million more girls in STEM learning opportunities through afterschool and summer programs over the next five years.

The Million Girls Moonshot will not only allow girls to envision themselves as future innovators, but it will increase the quality of out-of-school STEM learning opportunities for all young people, particularly underserved and underrepresented youth.

About the Million Girls Moonshot

The Moonshot is designed to spur girls’ interest, understanding, and confidence in STEM and equip them to become problem solvers with an engineering mindset. Led nationally by the STEM Next Opportunity Fund and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in partnership with the Intel Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Million Girls Moonshot:

    A young woman holds the full moon in her hands.
  • leverages afterschool networks in all 50 states to help school-age youth access high-quality STEM education, support, and mentors.
  • provides resources, support, mentorship, and expert guidance to help educators deliver hands-on STEM experiences in afterschool, out-of-school time, and summer learning programs.

Upcoming STEM Events

The STEM Next Opportunity Fund shares information of a wide range of free training opportunities and webinars led by partners, researchers, and practitioners to share effective strategies, best practices, and resources to engage more youth in STEM and engineering. Events also enable participants from across the country to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.
