Project Squad

Project Squad invites teen girls to create a science fair project, in keeping with the requirements of both SciFest and STRIPE Young Scientist.

 

The sessions begin with brainstorming and then cover research methodology, project management, experimentation/data collection and results reporting.

2025 Sessions begin the week starting September 16th.
