Empowering grrrls and their allies with hands-on Science and Tech!
What happens when you switch on a light at home? Can you draw with electricity?
This workshop is going to get electric! Kids will add LEDs to a drawing or creation. They will experiment with simple circuits and electricity and learn about Ji Qie and her circuit stickers.
Why are bubble round and not squares or triangles? Why do bubbles burst? What do bubbles have to do with math?
In this workshop, we will be exploring the science and math behind bubbles. We will experiment with square and triangular bubbles, learn about Karen Uhlenbeck, whose seminal work helped launch an entire field of mathematics with her discovery of bubbling, and make a bar of soap.

This fall we will explore earth’s relationship with the sun and how it effects our weather, creating seasons!
Together we will be capturing a 2 month long solargraph image, experimenting with leaf chromatography and making natural ink.
Every week we will learn about STEM trailblazers including Autumn Peltier, Wangari Maathai, Jeanne Baret, Ynés Mexía.
Of course we will doing lots of fun experiments!. Be prepared to get messy!
In-person classes are limited to 4 – 6 kids and occur outside under a canopy.
