Summer is a time for fun and relaxation, but did you know that students can lose up to two months of academic progress over the break? This “summer slide” can be especially tough for girls interested in STEM, as hands-on experiences and consistent practice are key to building confidence and skills. Here’s how you can combat summer learning loss and keep your daughter’s love for STEM growing strong.
1. Make Learning Part of Everyday Life
2. Use Engaging Resources
The Beauty of STEM: Hair Edition Kit is a perfect way to keep STEM learning fun and accessible at home. With step-by-step guides, girls can test their hair porosity, find their hair type, make their own hair conditioner, and even create body butter with the free kit. These activities make science personal and hands-on, and you don’t need any special background to participate together.

Let your daughter follow her interests! Whether it’s coding, building, or experimenting with beauty products, giving her the freedom to explore helps keep her engaged and motivated.
5. Celebrate Progress
Recognize her achievements, no matter how small. Every experiment finished or new concept learned is a win!
