Scientific Adventures for Girls (SAfG) is all about closing the gender gap in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Research shows that family attitudes and interest levels in STEM influence how girls think and feel about STEM. Interest in STEM topics positively influence how girls see themselves in the STEM field.

Parent engagement helps girls to envision themselves in STEM roles.

SAfG, with the support of Sandia National Laboratories, has been developing Family STEAM Nights since 2018 to provide opportunities to normalize the ideas of families doing science together; to empower parents who feel a little uncomfortable in science or math; and to educate families on STEM career opportunities. 

Our partnerships with amazing STEM organizations in the East Bay have made our Family STEAM Nights enriching and fun.

Check out our Family STEAM Nights below, we have gone virtual! We will be offering one Family STEAM Night per month for the 2021-22 school year, starting in October!
