Nanogirl Labs—A Social Enterprise

Nanogirl Labs exists to inspire and empower through STEM education.

Nanogirl Labs was created by founders, Joe Davis and Dr Michelle Dickinson. Our team, based in Auckland, New Zealand, works to design products and experiences that are both engaging and impactful.

Increasing diversity and inclusion in STEM fields is one of the key outcomes of our work worldwide and we focus on sustainability and accessibility in everything we do.

Buy One, Give One
In everything we do, we make sure that everyone is able to access and enjoy Nanogirl experiences—no matter their circumstance. Through our Buy One, Give One initiative, we reach families who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access our STEM education programmes, enabling them to participate and not get left behind.
