Through funding provided by the National Science Foundation, the Nature Museum of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with El Valor and James Ward School will create Girls Online: GO Team! , an innovative after-school science and technology program that targets girls between the ages of eleven and thirteen living in underserved areas of Chicago. This pilot program will offer engaging science activitiesand real-world applications to teachhands-on science and technology to approximately450 girls over a three-year period. Each semester, between forty-five and ninety girls will join the GO Team! at locations in their own neighborhoods. Of the girls who excel in this after-school program, six will be selected every semester to return and team teach with Academy staff to a new group of participating girls. As the girls grow in competency and skills, they can attend a more advanced GO Team! the following semester. The participating girls will attend weekly lab sessions taught by educators and scientists from the Academy, have fun with their families at a Kick -Off celebration and a Graduation Ceremony, learn about science and technology careers during a job shadow day with museum staff and outside professionals, andlearn how science and technology impact their everyday lives. Successful women mentors will function as teachers and role models to help build the girls' science knowledge, career choices, and self-esteem.

通过国家科学基金会提供的资金，芝加哥科学院自然博物馆将与El Valor和James Ward School合作创建Girls Online：Go Team！，这是一个创新的课后科技项目，目标是生活在芝加哥服务不足地区的11岁至13岁的女孩。这一试点计划将在三年内为大约450名女孩提供引人入胜的科学活动和实际应用，教授实际操作的科学和技术。每学期，将有45到90名女孩加入围棋队！在他们自己所在社区的地点。在这个课外项目中表现出色的女孩中，每学期将有六个被选中，并与学院的工作人员一起为新的参与女孩群体授课。随着女孩们在能力和技能上的增长，她们可以参加更高级的围棋团队！接下来的一学期。参与的女孩将参加由学院的教育工作者和科学家教授的每周实验室课程，在启动庆祝活动和毕业典礼上与家人玩乐，与博物馆工作人员和外部专业人员在工作阴影日了解科学和技术职业，并了解科学技术如何影响她们的日常生活。成功的女性导师将发挥教师和榜样的作用，帮助女孩建立科学知识、职业选择和自尊。
