Our camp is based on the Girls with Nerve program created by Dr. Kristine Snyder at the University of Michigan in 2013. The Indiana University version began in 2017, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Jasmine Mirdamadi, who volunteered at the Michigan camp when she was an undergraduate there! 
Girls with Nerve IU is sponsored by Indiana University Bloomington's School of Public Health, the Women's Philanthropy Leadership Council, and the National Science Foundation.
