GO-GIRL (Gaining Options-Girls Investigate Real Life)

is  a program offered by Wayne State University to increase the competence and confidence of middle school girls in the areas of mathematics, technology, scientific thinking, and communication by engaging them in experiences that promote interest in and awareness of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related careers.

Girls become part of the Wayne State University campus community as they attend classes and visit research laboratories, dine in the dorms, tour campus facilities, and learn how to access university library resources.

Girls develop data literacy skills and explore scientific methods as they formulate research questions, design a research study, and collect, analyze and present their data a variety of current technologies.

Girls experience an environment that promotes collaborative and cooperative learning with others from diverse backgrounds as they design their research project guided by university mentors.
