Together, we can create a more diverse and equitable STEM landscape.
Design Connect Create (DCC) empowers girls to recognize their potential in STEM and themselves.

The call for women's involvement in STEM remains undeniable. Yet, studies underscore a disheartening reality: girls often encounter discouragement when considering STEM careers due to entrenched stereotypes and societal pressures. Our primary focus centers on girls of color within disadvantaged school districts and marginalized communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, spanning from elementary through high school.
Design Connect Create (DCC) firmly believes in harnessing the immense potential of every girl. Our approach intertwines STEM education with a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence, shaping well-rounded individuals poised for success in any domain.
