Girls Go Techbridge

e-design. This experience gives girls a flexible, practical approach to problem solving that they can apply to a wide range of subjects. Training and follow-up assistance are offered to Girl Scout staff, troop leaders, and role models as they lead girls through the activities. The programs-in-a-box are designed to work in variety of Girl Scout settings, from summer camps to troops to special events. Meeting role models and making connections to careers are important parts of the Girls Go Techbridge experience. By using the Career Cards included in the kits, and through interactions with professionals in STEM fields, girls have the opportunity to explore careers and become inspired. Included in each program-in-a-box are materials packaged for 10 girls to enjoy 6-9 hours of a variety of hands-on projects. For adults, each box offers Leader Guides designed for users with little to no STEM background, training videos, and take-home resources for families. Each kit has been thoroughly field tested and used by councils in all types of settings—from museums in Tampa to migrant camps in Northern California to day camps in Austin. Whether you are a Girl Scout leader or council staff, all you need are a time and a place to let the engineering-based fun happen.
