SAIC Sponsors Girls Inc.'s DC Summer STEM and Leadership Academy

Event highlights the power of our partnership in inspiring bright young minds 

SAIC’s Women’s Employee Resource Group sponsored the final week of the Girls Inc. DC 2024 Summer STEM and Leadership Academy, from July 29 through Aug. 2. As part of the company's commitment to increasing access and opportunities for all girls, the week was designed to inspire middle- and high-school girls to explore the world of robotics and develop leadership skills. During a midweek field trip to our corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia, SAIC team members shared their experiences with the young participants and guided them through hands-on learning projects. Here’s what Mike Alexander, senior program manager in SAIC's Army Business Group, and Ann, a participant from Girls Inc., had to say!
