Our Mission
The Young Women in Science Project is a youth-led initiative founded by Jimena Furie, a committed 16-year-old determined to inspire the next generation of female innovators. Our mission is to empower young girls to explore their curiosity, embrace scientific thinking, and envision themselves as future leaders in STEM.
Through hands-on classes, engaging experiments, and introductory lessons on research and laboratory skills, the project creates a supportive and fun learning environment where girls can discover the excitement of science. By offering mentorship and real scientific experiences, we aim to build confidence, spark ambition, and open doors to future opportunities in science-related careers.
We believe that every girl deserves the chance to see herself as a scientist—curious, capable, and powerful. The Young Woman in Science Project exists to make that vision possible.
