2023年10月26日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）-位于奥斯汀的非营利性组织Girlstart通过STEM庆祝26多年来赋予女孩权力，今天宣布与时尚技术公司La Maison Steel建立新的合作关系。截至11月16日，La Maison Steel将向Girlstart捐赠所有SmrtKuff®销售额的20%，以支持其课后，夏令营和社区STEM计划。

STEM challenges need new ideas and solutions, yet half of the world's population, girls and women, are not invited to the table. Women are dramatically underrepresented in STEM majors and careers, constituting 48% of the total workforce, but only 34% of the STEM workforce. Girlstart seeks to change this through its comprehensive After School, Summer Camp, and Community STEM programs, which introduce STEM careers to girls who have been historically marginalized.

STEM挑战需要新的想法和解决方案，但世界上一半的人口，女孩和妇女没有被邀请参加会议。妇女在STEM专业和职业中的代表性极低，占总劳动力的48%，但仅占STEM劳动力的34%。Girlstart试图通过全面的课后，夏令营和社区STEM项目来改变这一点，这些项目为历史上被边缘化的女孩介绍STEM职业生涯。

These evidence-based programs reach girls during the critical 4th-8th grades and provide the confidence and awareness they need to pursue STEM interests in elementary and middle school and beyond. “We are thrilled to partner with a tech-forward company like La Maison Steel,“ said Girlstart’s Executive Director Shane Woods.

这些循证项目在四年级至八年级的关键时期接触女孩，并提供他们在中小学及以后追求STEM兴趣所需的信心和意识。Girlstart的执行董事Shane Woods说：“我们很高兴与La Maison Steel这样的科技前瞻性公司合作。”。

We can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.” La Maison Steel is at the forefront of the fashion-tech industry. Their mission is to connect fashion with the value of blockchain technology and digital authentication.
