The vision is SIMPLE.

To empower and equip all girls to be catalysts in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by breaking the status quo.

Our Mission

As the world evolves, so do we. We are guided by a vision of breaking the status quo in STEM – a world where all girl’s equal opportunity rights are no longer questioned, forgotten, or marginalized. We evolved from the mission of bridging the gap in STEM careers for girls and minorities to breaking the status quo in STEM for ALL girls.

Our Core Approach

Parental/guardian involvement is critical. We know that a girl’s growth and development begins with the parental/guardian foundation. The core approach breaks into three dimensions that we call our core principles: Mentoring, Tutoring, and Field Experiences.

The Status Quo

PinkSTEM empowers girls and equips them to navigate beyond any under-representation, disadvantage, and/or disability. They are not merely products of their environments. They are producers of their environments. They can run companies and even countries. They can positively impact their communities and their generation. Together we can build the world we want to live in. A world where girls lead at every level in STEM. Together we can break the status quo

Attiyya Houston

Attiyya majored in engineering to challenge the assumption of what an engineer could look like.

Degrees: B.E. Biomedical Engineering
Hobbies: Learning, dancing, and problem solving

Biomedical Engineering Mentor

   Throughout her time in college, she kept busy with multiple organizations including the Vanderbilt Juggling and Physical Arts Club, the National Society of Black Engineers, and Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. During this time, she was able to get a first-hand look at how differences in educational backgrounds impact the overall college experience as well as student success.

   These observations have inspired her to explore topics of education equity, especially as it relates to STEM education, women, and minorities. She believes that to change the climate of women in STEM, we must change the images associated with them. Programs like PinkSTEM are doing just that by inspiring girls to see themselves and their peers as the next generation of scientists and engineers. She’s excited to join program founder, Tamika Ray-Head, and program director, Misty Bryant, in this pursuit.
