Social STEAM®
Lipsticks & Shadows Curriculum

Social STEAM® integrates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) to empower girls to explore identity, purpose, and possibility.

Through creative, beauty-industry-inspired lessons, girls build self-confidence, self-efficacy, and essential 21st-century skills — including communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

The program aligns directly with the five CASEL pillars:
Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.

Lipsticks & Shadows, a signature ten-session series within Social STEAM®, uses metaphors and tools from makeup artistry to teach deeper life lessons about authenticity, confidence, and resilience. The series helps girls define beauty from the inside out while envisioning future careers in STEAM fields.
