Girls STEAM Institute 2023 Business Challenge
May 19-21, 2023
in ENGAGE XR

The Girls STEAM Institute™ Virtual Reality Girls Team Business Challenge is geared to educate and encourage young girls 12-17 to become entrepreneurs and solve world problems. Twelve girls were chosen by representing diversity in geography, age, culture and assigned to a team of 4 to develop a business with viable concepts to remedy the Climate Change Crisis and the Role of Technology and Saving Our Earth.

The Team Business Challenge is free for participants. Each 4-member team will develop a business idea and a digital app that can solve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for the global Mental Health crises. Teams will pitch their tech app to a panel of judges and win recognition as Top Innovation or Top Social Impact.

The Girls STEAM Institute™ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on empowering and inspiring girls 13-18 to pursue STEAM entrepreneurship and leadership.

To apply, girls must be between 12 and 17 years old. Contact us for an application form.
