LATEST PROJECTS
RoboChicks 2G
RoboChicks | FIRST Lego League & Seaperch Robotics Team
RoboChicks 2G is a pipeline team for the original RoboChicks team. I started coaching R2G in Seaperch underwater robotics in 2018 when I wrote a grant for 5 Seaperch kits. I coached them at the Andrew and Walter Young YMCA once a week for eight weeks before taking them to the competition. I started out expecting 5-10 girls to join the teams and ended up
Next, in the fall of 2018, I secured funding for R2G to compete in the FIRST Lego League competition. Then I met with them twice or three times a week. After the competition, the team placed 21st out of 36 teams.
Girls can Code Club: Connections Academy
Girls Who Code Club | Georgia Connections Academy
I started the Girls Who Code club at my school when I noticed there weren't many STEM-related clubs. When I started it I only expected there to be around 10 girls to first join. However, over 135 girls joined from grade 6-12.
Girls Can STEM Party
Girls Can STEM Party
In 2016 I wrote a grant for $500 from Youth Service America and Disney to host a Girls Can STEM Party for one 50 girls. In 2017 I implemented that project and used the $500 to cover the cost of Girls Can Code badges, a LED Lightsaber project, a bridge building project using only marshmallows and toothpicks and more. In addition, with help from my robotics team, we made a presentation about the women in STEM. Which included the U.S. Girl Scouts CEO, who's a rocket scientist, to show the girls that they can succeed in STEM.
