The event also served to recognize the participants with certificates that celebrated their effort, dedication, and achievements throughout the project. These recognitions symbolize not only academic success but also each young woman's commitment to her personal and professional development, encouraging them to continue exploring opportunities in STEAM.

The STEAM Girls 360 Project was more than just an educational program; it was a platform to break stereotypes and demonstrate that talent knows no gender. Throughout the project, the girls engaged in workshops, challenges, and hands-on activities that strengthened their technical skills and fostered teamwork. The collaborative learning environment allowed participants to apply knowledge in real-world situations, inspiring them to pursue careers in science and technology and to believe in their ability to make a difference.
