We all know that flowers need water to live, but what happens if that water is dyed? Find out in this colorful experiment! Through transpiration, the flower draws the colored water up its stem and it results in a beautiful colored flower!

The day is packed with three hands-on workshops led by women in science, technology, engineering, and math fields.
We are excited to bring back our annual Girls in STEM Conference Fall 2022! Check back in August for more information.
Girlstart’s top priority is the safety of our participants, our staff and volunteers, and our community. To provide maximum COVID-19 safety and STEM fun, we will continue to meet or exceed guidelines provided by the CDC, and state and local health departments. Information regarding our 2022 COVID safety protocols will be shared closer to the conference.
In the meantime, Girlstart is continuing to highlight amazing women in STEM through our Women in STEM blog and video series. Be inspired as these incredible women describe how they became interested in their field, provide insight into a day in their life, and share learnings from their experiences.
Additionally, please visit our dedicated ‘STEM at Home’ online resource for engaging activities, virtual Starry Nights, and other STEM experiences that you can do at home with the whole family. And don’t forget to check out our all-new DeSTEMber calendar with 31 days of hands-on STEM fun.
If you have questions, please reach out to us by emailing camps@girlstart.org. Thank you for being part of the Girlstart family!
Use the power of air pressure in a bag to launch a pom pom! Just a few materials are needed to create your cannon. Fill your cannon with air then seal the opening with a pom pom. Give it a big squeeze and watch as the building air pressure in the chamber causes the pom pom to go flying!
