A group from the Austin PayPal offices joined us at Girlstart for an afternoon of volunteering. They cut hundreds of pieces of construction paper and aluminum foil for our solar oven activity.
A huge thank you to PayPal for donating their time and helping us make STEM fun and meaningful for girls across the country!

Girlstart meets with after school participants for an hour each week to do hands-on STEM activities related to what they are learning in the classroom. We appreciate our hard working volunteers, who help make these programs possible and work as a team themselves to solve challenges (like cutting thousands of pieces of plastic wrap). Thank you!
As Girlstart gears up for our spring 2019 after school programs, volunteers have helped prep materials for the 2000+ girls we serve each week.
A big thank you to National Instruments for volunteering at their offices to prep materials, including bagging cereals to represent sediments and cutting plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and construction paper for solar ovens. We appreciate their continued support empowering girls in STEM.
2018 was a great year and we had hundreds of volunteers help in various capacities throughout the country. Volunteers prepped materials for after school, summer camps, and various public STEM events. They cut cardboard, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, sorted thousands of legos, painted, fixed computers, guest spoke, presented at Girls in STEM, assembled journals, and so much more.
We are thankful for everyone who helped in 2018 to make programs such a success and I look forward to an even better 2019!
