The Ella Project

Every young person deserves an opportunity to see themselves as a scientist and a superhero (though the two are not always that different), and The Ella Project helps make that possible, especially for girls who are underrepresented in the STEM field. The project brings STEM and STEAM disciplines to life with its comic book series. These books follow protagonist Ella the Engineer, an adventurous and curious leader who uses science, engineering, and coding skills to solve various mysteries. Readers may also enjoy the Virtual Readings and Toolkit section which includes recorded readings for "virtual storytime," plus activities to add to the fun. Stay tuned for additional classroom resources currently in production. The site also curates a Stories section, which shares the biographies of barrier-breaking women in STEM fields. These women have made waves as entrepreneurs, data scientists, biochemists, and more. In addition to discussing their career paths, they dish out advice for the next generation of women in STEM. The Ella Project was co-founded by a father-daughter duo wanting to create an entertaining and empowering outlet for young people, especially young women, pursuing STEM careers.
