About Us – Math Invitational for Girls

Our Mission

The Math Invitational for Girls (MIG) started out as nothing more than an idea in an ice-cream parlor, to solve a problem we were passionate about: how to combat the underrepresentation of women in STEM. As we realized that we have the ability to drive this change, MIG was founded as a step towards breaking down the social barriers surrounding gender bias in the fields of math and science. Our mission is to inspire young women in STEM education, most known with our annual main event based in Memphis, TN. Last April, the Math Invitational reached over 200 participants in the tri-state area, and we are constantly expanding.
