With more than 30 years of experience in popular science, Les Scientifines' mission is to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to young girls aged 8 to 17 from underprivileged areas to enable the development of various skills, thus countering school drop-out and poverty among women.

At Les Scientifines', we are convinced that:

• Girls can flourish and succeed as much as boys in STEM fields;
• By acting early, the organization can have a long-term impact on the evolution of their interest in STEM and thus contribute to the development of their future employability and their involvement in the community;
• Promoting an active role for girls in the search for solutions contributes to developing their creativity, autonomy and self-confidence.

We motivate girls to pursue their dreams and to consider higher education in areas still viewed today as more masculine.  

To date, Les Scientifines remains the only organization in the Greater Montreal region to offer activities free of charge to girls aged 8 to 17 that promote staying in school, exploring an interest in STEM and the development of transversal skills.
