At our school, we were struggling to get girls to sign up for science electives and after school clubs. Literally, we had zero girls participate. So we offered a Girls' STEM club one year. The following year, 60% of our science electives and clubs participants were girls. We had pushback from families who were mad that their boys couldn't attend Girls' STEM club. But, if we want historically excluded groups to participate in those things, sometimes we have to provide a safe on-ramp.
