Camp ScientiFille
Camp ScientiFille is a Togolese nonprofit organization created in 2011 to motivate young girls to pursue an education in STEM, thereby increasing the number of women in scientific disciplines. Girls from around Togo who show interest in the sciences have strong academic performance and a teacher recommendation can apply. Based on their applications, every year, the best 50 candidates are selected to participate in Camp ScientiFille. Since 2011, over the course of a week in the summer, the girls come together to learn about science through hands-on experiments and informational sessions. The topics covered include basic biology, chemistry, and physics.
