About the Project

Project HandsOn was founded in July 2022, with the aim of helping girls and young women overcome internal and external obstacles to participation in STEM fields, whether in education or employment. We seek to shrink the gender gap and generate awareness around the participation of girl students in STEM fields through facilitation of access. HandsOn approaches the problem with a multi-pronged approach which includes creating informative and educational content, conducting educational workshops in underserved communities, creating more awareness about STEM subjects and increasing interest in these majors and careers. It aims to provide girls with the starting point from which they can begin their pursuit of a career in STEM.
