WHO WE ARE

We are a collective of accomplished women in STEM united by a shared mission: 
to inspire the next generation of female STEM leaders 

 

WHAT WE DO

We connect girls with real women in STEM to spark curiosity, build confidence, and expand their sense of what’s possible.  

Through in-person and virtual talks, classroom visits, and community events, AstraFemina role models share their journeys, answer questions, and show what a future in STEM can look like. By making science, technology, engineering, and math relatable and inspiring, we help girls imagine themselves as tomorrow’s innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

HOW WE DO IT

We partner with schools, camps, and outreach programs to bring powerful STEM role models directly to girls

By working with organizations that are already engaging young learners, AstraFemina provides inspiring speakers who share real-world STEM experiences and spark meaningful conversations. Whether in person or virtual, our events are designed to empower girls to see themselves in STEM and know they belong there.

WHY IT MATTERS

STEM can feel out of reach until someone shows you what’s possible. These testimonials reflect the powerful impact of connection, encouragement, and seeing women thriving in STEM.

 

Fueling the Future, Together

The power of partnership is at the heart of AstraFemina’s mission. Hear from our collaborators on how our role models have made a lasting impact on their programs and the girls they serve.

  • Your presentation was nothing short of extraordinary. You captivated the room with your story, your authenticity, and your encouragement. And we heard again and again just how powerful it was for youth (and adults) to hear directly from someone who has literally reached the stars. You made space feel personal and possible." ~ Breann G. (Partner), Girl Scouts of Colorado

  • She spoke to our STEM campers about not giving up, which is a theme that the camp tries to carry through all of our presentations. Her talk was exactly what our girls needed to hear to encourage them to set their goals high, not sell themselves short, develop a support group, and never give up. I couldn't image a speaker more capable than her to get that message across. I have heard many astronauts speak to different audiences but she stood out as the perfect person to inspire those girls. This was an amazing experience and I plan to request a speaker again next year." ~ Jonae F. (Partner), AAUW Tech Trek

  • Thank you for speaking with our Girls in STEAM Summer Campers! They were engaged from start to finish and enjoyed learning from you. It was great for the girls in our program to learn about all the possibilities in space and the crossover between other sciences. They left motivated and inspired! Also, they LOVED the Q & As and would have asked you questions for much longer if we had the time!" - Kristin J. (Partner), Whitaker Center

  • AstraFemina was a huge resource for our event. We are extremely grateful to organizations like AstraFemina for contributing to the same goal of exposing students and females to the world of STEM.” ~ Sydney R. (partner), InspHER

  • My thanks to AstraFemina for providing this valuable service to girls across the country. I've always felt that example is the greatest teacher, and being able to expose young girls to AstraFemina's women helps to open up new possibilities for each girl." ~ Cindi B. (Partner), AAUW Tech Trek
