“It takes a village to raise a child” - African proverb
The heart of our organization is the HQ Team of student leaders and adult role models (both female and male allies) that work together to manage the organization and fulfill Scientella’s mission.

“I’m privileged to observe as students explore their passions and develop belief in their leadership capabilities. I hope that young girls are inspired to pursue STEM fields requiring increased female representation to shape a more inclusive and diverse future for the better”
