Engaging Millions of Girls in STEM: The Moonshot Mid-Initiative Report

The Million Girls Moonshot has a single, laser-focused goal–to cultivate one million more girls with an engineering mindset by 2025. 

As a signature initiative of STEM Next Opportunity Fund, the Moonshot directly supports STEM Next’s mission to ensure that millions of underserved young people have access to high-quality STEM learning experiences to help them thrive in STEM and beyond.

Thanks to the support of powerful partners, we are on a soaring trajectory! 

At the halfway point of the initiative, we have reached 1.4 million girls and a total of 2.75 million youth.

While our reach numbers tell an amazing story of the Moonshot’s rapid scale, our work is far from finished. As we head into the second half of the Moonshot initiative, we’ve set our sights on not just one million girls, but MILLIONS of girls in STEM. For us, three big opportunities lay ahead.

As we celebrate the impact we have already made, we remember that there is still much to do. 

So, let our accomplishments be a testament to the power of collective action at scale and move forward with inspired momentum. Together, let’s keep reimagining who can build, who can engineer, and who can create. We hope the information in this report will serve as a powerful validator of this approach– and inspiration for the continued work ahead.
