STEM From Dance (SFD) empowers high school minority girls from low-income communities to become economic and technological leaders of the 21st century by increasing access, achievement, and the pursuit of STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields. In addition to intensive academic enrichment, we focus on strengthening self-efficacy and expression through the character-building nature of dance. Together, STEM and dance cultivate the creativity and confidence needed to compete in the global economy.
