I’m excited to share with you the amazing work that we’ve been doing through our non-profit program, Amazing Girls Science. Our mission is to spark an interest in STEAM (science, technology, art & engineering) among young girls and inspire them to pursue careers in these fields.
Over the past 17 years, we’ve impacted hundreds of girls through our science conferences, robotic programs, and intergenerational programs for grandmothers, mothers, and daughters. Our goal is to provide young girls with the knowledge and resources they need to excel in the field of science and to encourage them to pursue careers in STEAM-related fields.
Our work has been recognized by the AARP Purpose Prize, and we’re proud of the impact that we’ve made in our community. If you’re interested, you can watch the video produced by CARP to learn more about our program and the difference that we’ve made.
Thank you for your support of our program and for joining us in our mission to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and artists.
As I reflect on my birthday and the work that I’ve done through Amazing Girls Science, I’m struck by the lessons that I’ve learned from this experience. Through this program, I’ve had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young girls and inspire them to pursue careers in STEAM fields. Here are just a few of the lessons that I’ve learned from this journey:
1. The power of community:
One of the things that I’ve learned through my work with Amazing Girls Science is the importance of building a strong community. By bringing together girls, mothers, grandmothers, and mentors, we’ve created a network of support and encouragement that has helped young girls to thrive. Seeing the power of this community in action has been a humbling and inspiring experience.
2. The value of hands-on learning:
Another lesson that I’ve learned is the importance of hands-on learning. By providing girls with opportunities to engage in hands-on projects and experiments, we’ve sparked their curiosity and inspired them to pursue careers in STEAM fields. Seeing the excitement and enthusiasm on their faces as they work on their projects has been a joy to witness.
3. The need for diversity and inclusion:
Through my work with Amazing Girls Science, I’ve also learned about the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEAM fields. By creating a program that is accessible to girls from all backgrounds and experiences, we’ve been able to help break down barriers and inspire a new generation of scientists, engineers, and artists.
4. The importance of leaving a positive legacy:
Finally, through my work with Amazing Girls Science, I’ve learned about the importance of leaving a positive legacy and making a difference in the world. By inspiring young girls to pursue their passions and achieve their goals, we’re helping to create a brighter future for all of us.
As I celebrate another year of life, I’m grateful for the lessons that I’ve learned through my work with Amazing Girls Science. I’m inspired to continue making a difference in the world and leaving a positive legacy for future generations. Our work has been recognized by the AARP Purpose Prize, and we’re proud of the impact that we’ve made in our community.
