STEM for Social Good Bootcamp: Climate Change

Today, the effects of climate change are felt all over the world. According to the United Nations (UN), girls and women with less resources commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change. Girls’ and women’s unequal participation in governmental decision-making processes worsens inequalities and often prevent girls and women from fully contributing to climate-related planning, policy-making and implementation.

Let’s take action together! Join Girl Up at this STEM Bootcamp: Climate Change to deepen your understanding of climate change and its disproportionate impact on girls and women, learn about UN efforts to combat climate change, gain tools on discussing climate change, strengthen your advocacy skills through a climate change advocacy activity, and begin brainstorming a STEM-centered solution to a climate change issue in your community. You can expect to gain insight into climate change engineering career routes, hear from a panel of women in STEM, and learn how to apply for a $500 STEM for Social Good grant.

This Girl Up STEM for Social Good Bootcamp: Climate Change will run from 5:00 – 7:30 PM EST (New York City Time Zone, USA) in an interactive, virtual format. The event content is mostly geared toward leaders in grades 6-12, ages 13-22.
