Girls at Chandlers School recently celebrated as super scientists, terrific technologists, excellent engineers, awesome artists, and marvelous mathematicians as part of the second annual STEAM Day for Girls.
Girls in Kindergarten through eighth grade joined Chandlers staff in an afternoon full of activities, including making magnetic slime, programming robots, designing boats and bridges, watercolor painting cityscapes based on pi, untangling ropes using topology, and an exploration of pi with food and reading.
“Chandler’s Girls Can!” was the theme for the event aiming to elevate confidence and to support young ladies in the pursuit of excellence and enjoyment of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.
Mrs. Sheila Cunningham , a middle school math teacher who helped host the event, said, “ I think we were successful in having a ton of fun today with nearly 50 young ladies. This was an opportunity for the young ladies at our school to elevate their confidence and applaud their interests in the STEM content, which could lead them to someday enrich the workplace.”
