Introduction


Girls in Math at Yale (GiM) is open to students from underrepresented genders, including women and non-binary people, and those who are otherwise marginalized.  At the competition, students will gather on Zoom for a day of problem-solving, competition, and learning. We hope to cultivate a love for math and the sciences in a younger generation and celebrate the diversity that is already present in these fields at the university level. We also aspire to help foster a welcoming community and environment in which young students feel represented and empowered to pursue careers in STEM.
