Five 13 and 14-year old girls from Jersey City school, P.S. 5, are inspiring female interest in STEM education through their Solve for Tomorrow project that aims to reduce air contamination in their local community. The students’ project was recently named the New Jersey State Winner in the contest, earning the school $20,000 in technology.
“We have the girl power.
