  6. Project Goals Maximize access to shared resources within projects and with public and private sector organizations and institutions interested in expanding girls’ participation in STEM. Strengthen capacity of existing and evolving projects by sharing promising practice research and program models, outcomes and products. Use the leverage of a network or collaboration of individual girl-serving STEM programs to create the tipping point for gender equity in STEM.

  7. Why Collaborate? Uncoordinated Services Collaboration allows for the creation of a higher quality, more integrated experience. Collaboration reduces isolation among STEM professionals. Scarce Resources Collaborative relationships increase access to scarce resources.
