Girls RISE (Raising Interest in Science & Engineering) is a model program that will showcase how an informal, non-competitive learning environment that includes hands-on, reality-based applications of engineering principles and teamwork, can build confidence and encourage girls to develop an interest in science, engineering and mathematics and related careers. Project objectives are: (1) to build competent, confident, enthusiastic learners equipped with an array of advanced computer and technology skills; (2) to expose girls to a variety of engineering careers through interaction with professional women employed in science and engineering related fields; (3) to increase girls confidence in their ability to perform in traditionally male dominated technical and engineering arenas while improving their problem solving and information processing skills; (4) to foster sustained participation in engineering-related studies, reducing the attrition that occurs as girls move from the middle school to the high school level. The project builds upon the work the Miami Museum of Science conducted with under-represented youth, and includes several key components that have proven successful in related projects. These include: the acquisition of advanced computer skills; the use of college level mentors as instructors; interaction with professionals in their workplace; project based, active learning; and paid internships.

女孩上升（提高对科学工程的兴趣）是一个示范计划，将展示如何一个非正式的，非竞争性的学习环境，包括动手，基于现实的工程原理和团队合作的应用，可以建立信心，并鼓励女孩发展对科学，工程和数学及相关职业的兴趣。 项目目标是：（1）培养有能力、有信心、有热情的学习者，掌握一系列先进的计算机和技术技能;（2）通过与科学和工程相关领域的职业妇女互动，使女孩接触各种工程职业;（三）提高女孩对自己在传统上由男性主导的技术和工程领域表现能力的信心，同时改善她们的问题，解决问题和信息处理技能;（4）促进持续参与与工程有关的学习，减少女孩从初中升高中时的自然减员。 该项目以迈阿密科学博物馆为代表不足的青年开展的工作为基础，包括在相关项目中证明成功的几个关键组成部分。 其中包括：获得先进的计算机技能;使用大学水平的导师作为讲师;与工作场所的专业人士互动;基于项目的主动学习;以及带薪实习。
