The goal of the National Girls Collaborative Project is to maximize access to shared resources within projects and with public and private sector organizations and institutions interested in expanding girls' participation in STEM.

The vision of the Computer Science Collaboration Project is to efficiently increase participation of underrepresented groups in computer science opportunities and activities by effectively building collaborations between K-12, community-based organizations, higher education and industry.

NGCP webinars are offered throughout the year focused on exemplary practices and program models related to engaging girls in STEM. Webinars and resources are archived and available for viewing after the live event.
