About Girls Go STEM Student Challenge

The Girls Go STEM Student Challenge is an annual European competition inviting girls aged 14–19 to team up and turn ideas into impactful STEM solutions. This year, you are invited to take on a real-world challenge: space debris is a growing risk and your ideas can help shape the future of how we design and use space technologies. The challenge is organized by Girls Go STEM, an initiative under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Selected teams will be invited to the EIT Women and Girls in STEM Forum, taking place in Prague in November 2026, where they will present their project on stage and connect with an international network of students, experts, and innovators.
