We had an incredible experience at Central Elementary’s Open House on May 2nd, 2024! It was such a joy to meet students, families, and educators eager to hear about Girls N Gears and how we’re sparking a love for STEM in young girls. From hands-on activities to inspiring conversations, we’re excited to continue empowering future engineers right here in Tracy! A huge thank you to everyone who visited our booth!
Together with Tracy Unified School District, Girls N Gears set up a booth at the Tracy Earth Day Event on April 27. We talked to hundreds of people and spread Girls N Gears and our mission, and held various fun activities for the kids to try and experience!
We’re thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of our second Girls N Gears Workshop Series in the Lammersville School District on April 13, 2024! Over the 6 workshop sessions, more than 50 girls from grades 3-8 dove deep into exciting STEM concepts like the Engineering Design Process, Electricity, Projectile Motion, Biomedical Engineering, and more!It was inspiring to see their curiosity grow as they explored hands-on projects, asked thoughtful questions, and built confidence in their abilities. We can’t wait to see where their STEM journeys take them next!
We visited George Kelley Elementary School for their open house. We worked with 50+ students and loved seeing their faces light up when completing an activity, whether that was making a light-up bracelet, a vibrating robot, or trying our Tower Challenge!
Recently, Girls N Gears organized a Tour with Intuitive Surgical. Attendees loved learning about the ion robot and how it works, and were fascinated to learn about the work that goes into creating a surgical robot. Furthermore, students were able to learn about how to become a biomedical engineer as well as get advice on future career paths and how to accomplish them through an organized presentation.
February 3rd, 2024, marked the end of our first Girls N Gears Workshop Series. Over the 6 workshop sessions, over 40 girls from grades 3-8 within the Lammersville School District were able to explore STEM and Engineering in a space made just for them! Girls explored concepts such as the Engineering Design Process, Circuitry, Forces, Structure, and much more! It was heartwarming to see the girls open up and grow into their STEM passions over time, and we can’t wait for our next workshop series.
