Girl Scout Night: Robots Rock!

The University of Utah hosted a lot of STEM Princesses last night at the Society of Women Engineer's (SWE) Girl Scout Night: Robots Rock! 

I had a table during registration talking about the science behind the plasma globe and talking about Materials Science and Engineering.  Plasma is the fourth state of matter, but did you know it would power certain light bulbs?

I helped at the alternative energy rotation, the girls made turbines and the highest energy produced was 1.78 volts!  "All we do is win!"

Congratulations Midas Creek Elementary!

Midas Creek Elementary had over 100 engineering fair projects in their annual school science and engineering fair based on my Engineering Fair Curriculum. After the selection process and the Jordan School District Science and Engineering fair, ten students from Midas Creek are advancing to the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair (CUSEF)!

Heartfelt Crafternoon at the Leonardo Museum

Happy Gal-entine's Day, I mean Valentine's day! 

What better way to celebrate than teaching Girl Scouts about heart science at the Leonardo Museum? We made candy hearts "dance" using baking soda and vinegar, used stethoscopes and learned how blood travels throughout the body, and made Valentine's! It was a lot of "heart" work, but all the girls left "pumped" about science!
