About This Podcast
Welcome to the Black Girls Do Engineer Podcast — where culture, creativity, and STEM collide.
Black Girls Do Engineer (BGDE) is a national EdTech nonprofit transforming the STEM landscape for girls of color. Founded in Houston, Texas—with expanding regional hubs in Brooklyn and Detroit—we are on a bold mission to empower 1 million Black girls ages 6–21 to thrive in science, technology, engineering, and math.
This podcast takes you inside the world of STEM like never before. Every episode is a journey — a day in the life of engineers, innovators, creators, and world-shapers from across the globe. Hear their real stories, their paths, their challenges, and their visions for the future of AI, robotics, aviation, biotech, clean energy, cybersecurity, software, finance tech, gaming, and more.
Our goal?
To expose, elevate, and inspire.
To show our girls—and the world—that brilliance comes in many shades, styles, voices, and cultures.
To make STEM feel accessible, exciting, and attainable.
Tap in, level up, and join us on this powerful cultural STEM journey. Black Girls Do Engineer — and we’re just getting started.
