It was a great day filled with amazing stories and smiles on girls faces.
The day consisted of hands-on workshops led by over 130 STEM professionals in various STEM fields such as: engineering, programming, medical, chemistry and more. There were also 171 volunteers on hand to ensure the day was success.
Volunteers and presenters joined us from all walks of life: high school students, college students, past Girlstart participants, parents, teachers, engineers, etc. Thank you all for inspiring and encouraging girls in STEM!
