At Quarky, we want to change the way that girls view and interact with science, in the hope that this next generation of young women will alter the way society views both science and the part women can play in it. We, Quarkies, take tremendous pride in always being:

• CURIOUS.
  We explore science and take it into the realm of the unknown, the bizarre, and the unexpected.


• ADORKABLE.
  We want to be both geek chic and playfully dorky, embracing our intelligence and having fun with it.


• INCLUSIVE.
  Science can take any form, and our network should be open to anyone and in any format.


• SAVVY AND SASSY.
  We are in the know in tech, tweens, and science, bridging the trendy with the intellectual.


• CEASELESS.
  Science and tweens are changing non-stop, and so should Quarkies. We are relentless in our pursuit of the interesting.


• COLLABORATIVE.
  We learn best when we are a team — with our friends, our mentors, even our parents.

We continue to ask the question “Why?” over and over again and for the goal of quenching our curiosity and understanding how the world works. We respect failure, because discovery is a process of trial and error.

We are Quarkies, we are Scientists, and we will change the World.
