Oakland, CA · 6th–8th grade
She's Built for This
A Saturday cohort where leadership, STEM, and goal-setting meet the moment confidence starts to slip.
What this is
She's Built for This is a cohort program for 6th-8th grade girls that combines leadership development, STEM/tech exploration, and goal-setting in a structured, community-driven experience. This program meets our girls exactly where confidence begins to slip, offering them the tools, community, and belief system to persevere in STEM.
When and where
Seven Saturdays, 10 AM to 1 PM, in Oakland, CA.
- Kickoff: September 26
- Sessions: Oct 3 · Oct 10 · Oct 17 · Oct 24 · Oct 31
- Celebration Day: November 7 (families welcome!)
The commitment
This is an in-person cohort, which means the girls who join move through the semester together. Her commitment matters to the whole group, so we ask families to plan for all seven Saturdays before applying.
How to apply
The application takes about 10 minutes and a parent or guardian can fill it out with her. We read every one and email families with a decision before the September 26 kickoff.
