It's full STEAM ahead for Girl Scouts! Girl Scouts have been building their dreams and are gearing up to be INSPIRED all month! Together with sponsors and local female engineers, Girl Scouts brought their plans to life and explored STEM during
Cookie Construction at Crown Center. Experiences like this,
that you make possible, connect girls with STEM in unique ways they won't find anywhere else.
Girl Scout Cadette, Maddie Gaines, from Team Alpha Builders, was so inspired by her experience, she decided to invest in girls and join Daisy's Circle! As Maddie's mother, Heather said: "It wasn't really an ask, she said 'mom, if you fill this out, I will do extra chores...I will make it happen.'" What an inspiring moment of giving from a G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™.

You BUILD the Future of STEM!
What better way to develop a love of STEM than connecting it with everyone's favorite treat - Girl Scout Cookies?! Enter Cookie Construction. Thanks to supporters like you, girls got the opportunity to work with female engineers to bring their ideas to life. On March 4, Girl Scouts took over Crown Center and competed for prizes as they built their structures, worked as a team and realized their dreams. All the creations were incredible, but
Team STEAM took home the Juror's Choice Award that day! Your support turns girls into designers and inspires the architects and engineers of tomorrow.

Google Fiber Connecting Girls with STEM
It takes a village to raise a child and a community to raise G.I.R.L.s
(Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders)™.
When organizations in our community, like
Google Fiber, recognize the power of G.I.R.L.s and decide to make a difference, amazing things happen. Google Fiber has invested in girls by becoming a supporter of Girl Scouts and giving girls STEM experiences they can't get anywhere else. Along with other community partners, Google Fiber will be returning to Inspire a Girl with another exciting hands-on activity. Recently, they hosted a
private viewing of Hidden Figures and
various SPARK events to help girls connect with technology. Thanks to Google Fiber and all our incredible supporters who not only recognize the power of G.I.R.L.s, but who find ways to be part of a girl's journey to success.
