The GRIND Collective
Women and Girls Leveling the STEM Playing Field through Sports
We reduce multi-generational negative bias around capabilities of women and girls in STEM, through effective media campaigns and educational programming demonstrating self-determined visions of success.
Our multi-generational solution is pivotal to countering the narrative that women shouldn't receive as much support while being employed professionals in the Sporting and STEM industries. We cultivate sports and data science programming for K-12 youth, create mentorship opportunities for collegiate and professional women, and document the importance of work at this intersection through panels, conferences, social media campaigns, and docuseries. This multifaceted approach allows us to range from immediate local to gradual international reach.
