In 2020 the Exelon Foundation and NEED partnered to provide virtual programs, delivering digital resources for more than 1,500 previous and current participants.

“The STEM Academy is such an amazing opportunity that I think every young woman should take. It has helped me so much in looking at my career, picking my school, it influenced me to take certain classes, and join clubs. The more women who are aware of how awesome the STEM Academy is, the better.”
