Encouraging budding STEM2D stars
To spark girls’ and young women’s interest in STEM2D subjects, we need to reach them wherever they are—in urban centers, small towns, villages and rural communities. STEM2D must be accessible and available in a variety of places and settings. All girls—no matter their religion, race, gender identity, or ability—are welcome to join Johnson & Johnson’s WiSTEM2D programming and events.

Student Activity Series
The series includes interactive, fun, hands-on activities for girls and young women, ages 5-18, across the globe. All activities are aligned with research-based theory and the STEM2D philosophy.
Each activity targets one or more of the STEM2D subjects. Click to find an activity, along with the resources you need to be successful.

Partnerships
To advance student outreach, Johnson & Johnson has partnered with leading nonprofit organizations including Girls Inc., Girl Scouts of the USA, FHI 360, First Robotics, JA Worldwide, Smithsonian Science Education Center and National Society of Black Engineers to develop the youth STEM²D resources and website. Our STEM2D.org site contains STEM²D activities that can be completed by students of all ages at home, in the classroom, or in other small and large groups.
Through these partnerships, Johnson & Johnson has reached over ten million girls since first launching our program in 2015.
