The fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are crucial for innovation and societal advancement. However, gender disparities persist, particularly in neuroscience. This is despite the work of many organizations and initiatives to build capacity among students, with very little done to raise awareness about potential neuroscience careers. In Ghana, the model of neuroscience experiential days targeted at teenage girls is being used to address this gap and ignite an interest around neuroscience. Since 2017, these camps have combined hands-on activities with career talks, reaching hundreds of participants and fostering a community of young women interested in neuroscience. This article shares insights from these camps, highlighting their structure, impact, and the challenges faced. By sharing our experiences and providing recommendations, we aim to inspire similar initiatives contributing to increased gender diversity in STEM.
