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!
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. "

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.
