Great Science for Girls (GSG) is a five-year project (2006-2011) funded by the National Science Foundation to proactively support girls’ interest and persistence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).The project is comprised of inquiry-based, informal curriculum that GSG has evaluated and indentified as having a positive impact on girls’ interest in science. Additionally, GSG provides support, resources and professional development to Intermediaries interested in joining this national initiative. The lead agency for the GSG team is the Educational Equity Center (EEC) at AED, an organization that develops programs and materials to promote bias-free learning in school and after school. The project collaborators are AED’s Center for School and Community Services (SCS) and Center for Youth Development and Policy Research (CYD).
