It is no secret that girls are still underrepresented when it comes to science, math, technology, and engineering. However, a new summer program in Buffalo, New York, is aiming to change all of that. The University of Buffalo is offering a summer day camp for a total of five days at no cost to the student or their family. This summer camp is geared to show the student how fun math can be.
Girls are filling the gaps in STEM education.
The students will enjoy the fun and creative ways to learn the subject matter. While the gender gap is being narrowed in these fields between boys and girls, women still are underrepresented. During summer vacation, this gap seems to increase and this program is an attempt to redirect their attention back to math and science.
Key takeaways
- A summer camp offered in Buffalo, New York, is a free five-day summer camp to help improve youth math skills for girls.
- While the gender gap has narrowed with relations to STEM programs, women are still underrepresented in these fields.
- This project is a hand on the approach that emphasizes personal attention for each of the students in an attempt to bridge the gap that summertime can bring outside of the school year.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
