Impact

It started with 50 girls in Makurdi.

Our very first workshop brought 50 secondary school girls in Makurdi face-to-face with Artificial Intelligence, digital literacy, and STEM. Every stat below is one of them, and every future cohort begins with this classroom.

Why we exist

The gender gap we're here to close.

Girls match boys in early science ability, yet the numbers thin out at every step. Women earn just 35% of STEM degrees worldwide, hold 28% of STEM jobs, and fill only 22% of AI roles. In Nigeria, fewer than 1 in 4 STEM graduates is a woman.

SheLearns AI exists to bridge that gender gap, meeting girls early, in secondary school, and educating them with practical AI and STEM skills, mentorship, and role models, so they choose a STEM career path, and stay on it.

  • 28%, women's share of the global STEM workforce (WEF, 2024)
  • 22%, women's share of professional AI roles worldwide
  • Fewer than 1 in 4, women among Nigeria's STEM graduates (UNESCO)

Women's share shrinks at every step of the ladder, from graduation to the AI frontier.
