Overview

The vision of the Connecticut Girls Collaborative Project is to close the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees and careers. This initiative will connect girls across Connecticut with STEM businesses and organizations by engaging them in collaborations that will promote new ways of thinking, new ways of sharing resources, and new solutions. The ultimate goal is to secure gender equity in aligning with the Department of Economic and Community Development to enhance Connecticut’s competitive position in the new economy and solidify the state’s reputation as a high-tech leader in innovation and productivity.
