Try a new way of blowing out a fire by using baking soda and vinegar in this cool chemical reaction. When combined, these two materials make carbonic acid which is quickly converted into CO2. When you tilt your container, you are pouring CO2 into the flame. This causes it to blow out! Don’t forget to have some adult supervision, and most of all, have fun!

In this experiment, watch water start boiling without heating up the cup or making it catch fire. Conduction occurs as heat is being transferred through the paper cup from the flame to the water! Don’t forget to have some adult supervision.

Girlstart hosted its 13th annual Girls in STEM Conference on Saturday, March 24th at Travis High School in Austin, TX. 597 girls from across Texas, including Austin, Houston, and Waco, attended this year’s conference. It was a great day filled with amazing stories and smiles on girls faces.
The day consisted of hands-on workshops led by over 130 STEM professionals in various STEM fields such as: engineering, programming, medical, chemistry and more. There were also 171 volunteers on hand to ensure the day was success.
Volunteers and presenters joined us from all walks of life: high school students, college students, past Girlstart participants, parents, teachers, engineers, etc. Thank you all for inspiring and encouraging girls in STEM!
