High School girls lead a STEAM club for the purpose of fostering passion in young females throughout science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

At South Fayette, STEAM-centered clubs operating alongside the curriculum build students’ understanding and excitement for computer science, computational thinking, engineering and human-centered design. High school student, Ashumi Rokadia, saw a gap in opportunity for HS females and approached her teacher about starting a Girls STEAM team. Girls STEAM team is driven by the girls’ passions and has focused on engineering with Rube Goldberg contraption contests, computer science through website design, and engaging young females in their community. Stacey Barth, a high school teacher from South Fayette, champions the team and continues the legacy.
