Empowering Girls in STEM: Dell Technologies and Logics Academy Partner to Advance Equity in STEM Education
Toronto, ON — Logics Academy, a leading Canadian provider of STEM and AI-powered learning solutions, has partnered with Dell Technologies to conduct a comprehensive literature review of the Girls Who Game (GWG) program, an initiative empowering underserved students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through game-based learning.
Understanding the Challenge
As global demand for STEM talent continues to rise, many girls still face barriers that prevent them from pursuing opportunities in these fields. Early exposure, mentorship, and inclusive learning environments play critical roles in closing this gap.
Dell Technologies launched the Girls Who Game program with the goal of addressing this challenge, helping girls build computational thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills while developing confidence as future leaders in STEM.
To further enhance the program’s impact, Dell sought an evidence-based understanding of its outcomes and areas for continued growth.
The Collaboration
Dell Technologies engaged Logics Academy to conduct a literature review titled, “Empowering Young Minds: A Literature Review on the Girls Who Game Program and Its Impact on Learning.”
The review explored how game-based learning fosters digital literacy and STEM interest among girls, while identifying strategies to strengthen inclusivity and engagement.
Key Findings and Recommendations
The study revealed that Girls Who Game has been a powerful platform for increasing representation and inspiring girls to see themselves as innovators. However, it also identified opportunities to amplify the program’s long-term impact.
Key recommendations included:
-
Expanding mentorship from industry professionals to connect students with role models actively working in STEM fields.
-
Engaging families through events and take-home resources to extend learning beyond the classroom.
-
Encouraging leadership opportunities within school clubs, competitions, and community projects to nurture confidence and ownership.
These recommendations provided Dell Technologies with data-driven insights to evolve the program and ensure greater inclusion across its national reach.
“Working with Logics to execute this literature review was incredible. I was able to share my desired outcome for the research project and Logics ensured it was done in excellence and included research-based evidence to support women and girls in STEM. Partnering with Logics was seamless, and I look forward to our continued collaborative thought leadership.”
