Self-eSTEM 2026 Program Application Launch

Apply Now for the 2026 Early STEM Immersion Program!

Self-eSTEM is excited to open enrollment for the 2026 Early STEM Immersion Program, a year-round STEM learning experience for girls ages 7–17. No prior STEM experience is required.

About the Early STEM Immersion Program

Accepted participants will be enrolled in a year-round series of STEM learning opportunities, including workshops, community events, leadership activities, and more.
The STEM Exploration Camp is the first program event for new 2026 applicants.

Please note: we are launching mandatory group interviews that will take place in mid–late February or early March 2026. These interviews help students get comfortable with staff and returning alumni facilitators, and gauge interest and commitment in participating in our programming. This is required for Self-eSTEM to sustain and scale our programs. Interviews are not used to assess aptitude.
