Review for Getmagic Corporation, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This was my first year with MAGIC, and it was one of the most fulfilling and rewarding mentoring experiences I’ve ever had.

MAGIC fills a real need: in spite of efforts to encourage women to pursue STEM careers, high-school girls are still missing the resources and role models they need to spark and maintain their interest in STEM fields. For example, I found out my mentee’s school tried to start a computer science class, but they could not find a qualified teacher, the girls in the class had a bad experience, and the school abandoned the effort.

Through MAGIC, girls develop their STEM skills via personalized projects that are tailored to their interests. Each mentee spend hours learning from a female role model who has a professional career in a STEM field.

Seeing the inspiring final presentations from my mentee and her peers reinforced my opinion that MAGIC is a practical and successful way to ensure the future of women in STEM.
