Making, STEM, and Entrepreneurship for Young Women
About Forge Greensboro
Forge Greensboro is a non-profit community makerspace that provides equitable access to high-quality industrial manufacturing tools and equipment for students, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, and more.
The Forge is like a gym for makers!
What is Making?
Making is a culture that emphasizes interest-driven learning by doing within an informal, peer-led, and creative social environment.
Young Women in STEM and Makerspaces
Too often, makerspace communities are dominated by males, while women remain on the outskirts. African American women in particular continue to be left out of these spaces as they make up only 2 percent of the science and engineering workforce.
Making, STEM, and Entrepreneurship for Young Women
The Forge is partnering with TERC, a STEM education design and research organization, to bring making programs to young women in the community.
Our program will introduce young women to a product design and build cycle in three areas: computer-aided design, ceramics, and textiles. Our program will also open new pathways to STEM careers for young women as they develop their skills and interests in the makerspace.
