✦ FOUNDER
Why I started this project
I started Her Future STEM because I wanted younger girls to see people who look like them in science and engineering — and to know that belonging is part of learning. This site collects stories, practical resources, and small projects that make STEM feel less distant and more possible.
My hope is that students find a place here to ask questions, try ideas, and imagine a future in STEM that includes them.

A personal note
A short note from Ximena
If you are curious about science, technology, engineering, or math — try one small thing. Build a tiny project, ask a question, or read a short story about someone doing the work. Belonging grows from small, brave choices.
