This summer has been extra special because of our Interns from I Have A Dream! Yareni de la Cruz and Shylah Hernandez are both Boulder High students and members of I Have A Dream Boulder County. The young women are learning what it takes to run a nonprofit including organizing lesson plans, mentoring, and developing marketing materials. Also with their Spanish speaking skills, they have been great with increasing our engagement of the Latina Community. And with a grant from the Daniels Foundation, they are earning a nice pay check as well!!

Thank you Micro:bit Educational Foundation for the generous donation of 10 micro:bits! A micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun! The girls are looking forward to using them and creating a variety of fun coding projects. And hopefully we will have another Global Challenge winner from Boulder, CO!!!

The BBC micro:bit is a handheld, programmable micro-computer that can be used for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments – the possibilities are endless.

The Captain Planet EcoSTEM kits have arrived! We are so excited to have been awarded a grant of the Renewable Energy ecoSTEM kits. The invention kit provide opportunities to design and build wind, water, and solar powered devices. Cool Girls can test variables, using multi-meters to measure the electricity generated by their inventions, and then refine the designs.

Thank you Nading Family Fund for supporting Cool Girls Science and Art Club! Support from local foundations like the Nading Family Fund is crucial for Cool Girls to maintain our commitment to never turning away a girl for financial reasons while providing a high quality, experiential, hands-on STEAM program with a low mentor to student ratio. ❤️

Who doesn't love a Baking Soda Volcano? The Longmont Cool Girls meets throughout the Summer and had an amazing time making baking soda volcanoes. It such a fun way to learn about the Earth's layers and how places like Haystack Mountain were formed.
