STEMHER: Empowering Middle School Girls Through Robotics &amp; Innovation The NAASC Boston Chapter is proud to launch STEMHER, a hands-on STEM conference designed to inspire and empower middle school girls (grades 6&ndash;8) across the Boston area. At a pivotal age when confidence in STEM often declines, this experience creates a space where girls can build, explore, and lead&mdash;guided by Spelman College alumnae who serve as mentors, role models, and facilitators.
