Girls++ has been able to help teach many girls about all kinds of STEM subjects through fun activities that the kids could not only enjoy but learn from as well! Over the course of two days, more than 20 kids were taught and guided through 5 STEM activities with the help of 9 volunteers!

On day one, activities such as the coin battery experiment, rube goldberg machine, and binary bracelets used engineering and computer science concepts to teach the girls about the creation of energy, sharpening their creativity skills, and coding words using beads and creating bracelets!

Day two consisted of chemistry experiments like strawberry DNA and elephant toothpaste in which the kids acted as real scientists, extracting dna from a strawberry and mixing substances that would have a chemical reaction to create a cool and colorful explosion!

The strawberry DNA extraction became the most popular and most loved experiment among the kids, causing the girls to leave the room quickly so they could bring their friends along to try out the experiments too, and asking the volunteers to help them beging the extraction experiment once more!

Not only were the excited to complete the new activities we placed for them after day one, but the workers at the youth center were delighted to see that many kids were buzzing about how they were able to extract DNA throughout the building!

Some girls also exclaimed how they wished to become a scientist or an engineer in the future, and it is our dream to continue inspiring and teaching girls from all backgrounds how they too, have the ability to accomplish the many feats there are in the world of STEM!
