We’re thrilled to announce that Girls N Gears completed our first-ever workshop collaboration with a Tracy school on May 22nd, 2024!Through a 4-hour workshop split over two days, we offered an Intro to Engineering workshop for young girls at Central School to start to explore engineering and get excited about everything they could accomplish. On Day 1, participants explored the intricacies of the Engineering Design Process and how engineers go about achieving their goals and overcoming challenges, and practiced the process with a hands-on activity. On Day 2, participants got to further explore an aspect of engineering and learned more about static electricity, followed by several projects to help them explore further.
Had an amazing time representing Girls N Gears at the Robotics Competition in Stockton on May 11th, 2024! It was incredible to see so many young minds excited about STEM, and we loved sharing how our program empowers girls to pursue their passions in engineering and science. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about our mission to inspire the next generation of female engineers!
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!
