Due to limited research on Black girls in science education, this study focuses on the forms of capital Black girls cultivated through their participation in a community-based STEM after-school program. The study drew from the interviews and a focus group session of 10 Black girls and investigated their formal and informal experiences in science. Using intersectionality and community cultural wealth as theoretical perspectives, findings revealed that multiple forms of capital (aspirational, social, navigational, and familial) were fostered and interconnected throughout the program. The intersections of race and gender were also prominent contributions to the multidimensional, nuanced ways Black girls experience and flourish in STEM education. Implications and recommendations for future research on Black girls in science are discussed.

高中黑人女孩在 STEM 课后项目中的经历：定性案例研究

由于对黑人女孩在科学教育方面的研究有限，本研究重点关注黑人女孩通过参与基于社区的 STEM 课后项目所培养的资本形式。该研究基于对 10 名黑人女孩的访谈和焦点小组会议，调查了她们在科学方面的正式和非正式经历。使用交叉性和社区文化财富作为理论视角，研究结果表明，多种形式的资本（愿望、社会、导航和家庭）在整个项目中得到培育和相互关联。种族和性别的交叉也对黑人女孩在 STEM 教育中体验和蓬勃发展的多维度、细致入微的方式做出了突出贡献。讨论了对黑人女孩在科学领域的未来研究的影响和建议。
