The inspiration
Girls Building S.T.E.A.M.
In June of 2013, I went to the International Society for Technology in Education conference and saw this amazing ad. I cried. I called my principal and asked if I could start a club for girls and STEAM and she said sure!
We started out meeting once a month for 30 minutes and have grown to a weekly meeting for 1 hour 15 minutes. We explore many different concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through fun and exciting activities. We practice math by combining paint colors and creating a new color. We learn about solids, liquids, and gas along with measurement as we make ziploc ice cream.
Basically, we remind girls that learning is fun!
