Yellow Scope is a company creating creative and rigorous science kits for girls thanks to a recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign. Founded by female scientists Kelly McCollum and Marcie Colledge out of Portland, Oregon, Yellow Scope aims to spark curiosity that will inspire young girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Yellow Scope is one of many innovative initiatives that realize the value of sparking interest in science and technology in young girls from a young age. Data has often suggested girls raise their hands less frequently once they hit puberty, a staggering reality that can be curbed when girls have a chance to build confidence in science-driven settings.
Yellow Scope's science kits for girls aim to prove that products targeted to girls are just as fierce and real-world savvy.
