2018 Girls in STEM Conference

On March 24th, Travis High School hosted Girlstart’s ‘Girls in STEM Conference.’ Every year, volunteers, presenters, and students come together to engage in fun-filled science activities. This year was no different- girls spent the day participating in workshops with an emphasis on science, technology, and teamwork! This year Girlstart hosted its largest conference yet with 650+ girls!

Girlstart hosts the ‘Girls in STEM Conference’ each year to promote exploration of STEM careers. The conference is open to 4th-8th grade girls and includes workshops led by women in science, technology, engineering, and math fields.

After School Spring 2018: Week 8

Girlstart After School is back and ready to go after Spring Break! This week, our girls built and attached wind turbines to toy cars to create wind-powered vehicles. As part of the design process, they systematically tested and made modifications to their turbine. Then, they compared their results to see which cars traveled the fastest!
