About Us
Who we are and What we do
Sisters in STEM is an organization dedicated to helping young girls get involved in STEM through our efforts. Our goal is to help young women see that not only is STEM something that they can go into for their futures, but that it can be really fun!
Our Beginning
Sisters in STEM was begun in 2018 by three forward-thinking students from Saguaro High School's Sabercat Robotics team. The founders, Eli Arnold, Kayli Battel, and Laney Olson, chose to create the event Sisters in STEM in order to give young women the opportunity to see the benefits that STEM could provide for them. The founders worked with Scottsdale Community College to create their own event in the name of STEM and show these girls the possibilities that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math could give them!
