The Inland Northwest Community Access Network (TINCAN), the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (PSCTLT), and Reel Grrls (a community media center) are partnering to involve 6th and 7th grade middle school girls in science-focused after-school club activities in 10 schools in Seattle and Spokane, Washington. The Science Journalism Pathways to STEM Careers project is engaging girls in science journalism through information and communication technologies (ICT) to investigate and publish information about local science issues of interest to their communities. The ICT focus is video, multimedia, and the Internet. Girls are also conducting hands-on activities and interviewing STEM professionals to learn issue-related science content. The goals of the project are to (1) increase girls' ICT fluency, (2) increase girls' science literacy, (3) increase girls' interest in STEM careers, and (4) increase STEM content in non-science courses taught by social studies teachers who manage the after-school clubs.

内陆西北社区接入网络（TINCAN），普吉特海湾教学，学习和技术中心（PSCTLT）和Reel Grrls（社区媒体中心）正在合作，让西雅图和华盛顿斯波坎的10所学校的6年级和7年级的中学女生参加以科学为重点的课后俱乐部活动。“科学新闻通向STEM职业之路”项目正在通过信息和通信技术（ICT）让女孩参与科学新闻，以调查和发布有关其社区感兴趣的当地科学问题的信息。信息和通信技术的重点是视频、多媒体和互联网。女孩们还进行动手活动，并采访STEM专业人员，以学习与问题相关的科学内容。该项目的目标是：（1）提高女孩对信息和通信技术的熟练程度;（2）提高女孩的科学素养;（3）提高女孩对STEM职业的兴趣;（4）在管理课外俱乐部的社会研究教师教授的非科学课程中增加STEM内容。
