    STEM THE GAP Academy answered our questions

    Who are you as an organization?

    STEM THE GAP Academy is a revolution! We are committed to closing the gender divide and ensuring that girls take their rightful places in STEM. We are women in STEM who have seen injustices firsthand and we're not playing nice anymore. We teach girls the tangible skills they need for tomorrow, as well as the confidence to own their power to step out, speak up and STEM the Gap!

    • Special needs: Not available
    • LGBTQ+ friendly community

    What do you do differently or uniquely well?

    "The Gender Gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Fields has gone on for too long and we refuse to negotiate with a broken system anymore! It’s time for misogyny and male-dominated industries everywhere to be history!

    At STEM the Gap Academy, we teach girls to be fearless and to no longer ask for permission to take their rightful places in the world, and particularly in the world of STEM. All girls (cis, trans or genderqueer) are a force of nature and we teach them the tangible skills they need for tomorrow, as well as the confidence to own their power and step out, speak up and STEM the Gap! "

    Who are your staff and counsellors?

    "At STEM the Gap Academy, all educators are Women in STEM, who believe in the importance of representation. All our classes are woman-led by highly-qualified individuals, who are keen to teach and empower girls, because they know that if girls see role-models in fields and jobs they are interested in, they will understand that it is possible for them also.

    Our educators are also international, diverse and looking to make a positive change in the world. "

    What do families need to know about registration?

    "We offer a wide array of classes/courses, some group and some 1-on-1, so that each and every girl can find a course that is suitable to their needs and areas of interest.

    The majority of our courses are taught virtually and registration is very simple. You just have to follow the steps online. You can visit stemthegapacademy.com and follow the steps there or send us a message if you have any further inquiries about our courses/curriculums. "

    The Our Kids review of STEM THE GAP Academy

    our take

    Girls should no longer be left behind in STEM—that is the belief of STEM THE GAP Academy—and they’re doing something about it. Committed to closing the gender gap and calling out the injustices towards women in STEM fields, they’re looking to empower girls and teach them that they can be successful in areas previously not thought possible. Fostering characteristics in girls like determination, persistence, and resilience, STEM THE GAP Academy offers programs in chess, science, math, and digital technologies. The four tenets of their programs are truth, representation, mastery, and mission. Girls come out of this program with a sense of purpose, confidence, and an unstoppable nature. The courses are led by highly-qualified, passionate female educators who work in STEM fields around the world. Most classes are virtual and some are 1-on-1. STEM THE GAP’s founder Ingrid Gayle is making positive changes in girls’ lives and that is easily evidenced by the families who return.


    Review(s) of STEM THE GAP Academy

    Andrea (Parent)Five Stars!

    Ingrid and her chess coaches have been amazing at getting and keeping my daughter enthralled in this amazing sport. My daughter was so excited to get her first chess board and she continues to enjoy attending class each week. This is an excellent sport for young girls to learn and I am glad that we found Girl Boss Chess ... Read More

    Julie (Parent)Spring Break Camp

    I signed my 5 year old daughter up for the spring break camp just grateful she would have something to do. I had no idea her teacher, the platform and the course would be so engaging, educational and fun! She loved it so much that she asked to continue with classes and is signed up for level 1! I was very impressed with her teacher who had the perfect approach and communication style for children! She now talks about pawns, rooks and queens regularly throughout the day :) My husband and I were also engrossed with the fascinating history of chess thrown into the class, so much so that I think I will sign up for adult classes. I only wish I could have taken these classes as a kid. Just brilliant ... Read More

    Bohemienne (Parent)Phenomenal

    Our experience with Girl Boss Chess has been nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. We met Ingrid online over the 1st lockdown and she quickly managed to capture our 5yr old's attention and introduce her to the magical world of Kings & Queens and the dynamics of the pieces on the board. Words cannot begin to describe the joy Girl Boss Chess brings to our daughter. She looks forward to weekly homework, asks for more, begs to attend Chess Playground Tournaments on Sundays and is always looking forward to her weekly class. The staff is simply fantastic: dedicated, nurturing, engaging and simply put: PASSIONATE. We have had the honour of having Ingrid and Stella teach us but cannot wait to meet the rest of the team! If you want your child to grow and develop through the eyes of chess, THIS IS IT! At only 6yrs old, our daughter has sharpened her analytical and critical thinking skills, boosted her confidence, deepened her focus, increased her creativity and planning skills, not just on the board, but IN REAL LIFE! Through these lockdowns due to the pandemic, chess has kept my daughter in a mentally safe and healthy place. We look forward to growing with the Girl Boss Chess family and are excited to have our son join in the years to come as well. From the bottom of my heart to Ingrid, Stella and the entire Girl Boss Team, a heartfelt THANK YOU ... Read More
