Thank You Deep in the Heart of STEM Volunteers!

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.

Thank You Monthly Volunteer Night Volunteers!

To kick off the new year, Girlstart introduced a new volunteer opportunity with our Monthly Volunteer Nights! Girlstart is opening its office the third Tuesday each month for interested volunteers to help with various projects and prep tasks. We had a great turnout for our January and February volunteer nights, and those who joined us ensured all materials were prepped for our spring After School programs and community events.

We will host volunteer nights throughout the year and look forward to welcoming familiar faces as well as new ones when we start these back up in the fall of 2020!

Thank You Square Root Volunteers!

A group from Square Root joined us at Girlstart this fall for a morning of volunteering. Volunteers helped us prep materials for our Game Changers Luncheon as well as our Spooktacular event. They rolled shirts, cut hundreds of pieces of foam, and labeled boxes of colored pencils.

A huge thank you to Square Root for donating their time and helping us make STEM fun and meaningful for girls across the country!
