Engage one million girls in engineering practices: that’s the goal of the Million Girls Moonshot. The Network for Youth Success is proud to partner with STEM Next Opportunity Fund and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to bring engineering design practices to more children and youth across New York State. This national initiative features resources and partners from across the country to help our communities reach more girls and youth by opening opportunities to do engineering design, meet role models, and participate in groups that support STEAM learning.
