This spring, a group from Tableau Software joined us at the Girlstart Austin offices to help prepare materials for our after school programs and community events.

As a group, they cut materials for a variety of lessons, including tulle & PVC pipes for plastic rescue, notecards for bee hummers, and toilet paper rolls for marshmallow slingshots. We’d like to give a big thank you for their help and support!

In partnership with H-E-B Free First Sundays at the Bullock Museum, Girlstart presented our annual Deep in the Heart of STEM event on Sunday, February 2nd.

Deep in the Heart of STEM is a great way for families to explore the connections between history and STEM through interactive demos and hands-on activities. We had several volunteers attend and lead activities such as wind energy and pinwheels, drag racing cars, and LED light-up wearables.
