Celebrating the Louisiana Girls Collaborative Project
The Louisiana Girls Collaborative was relaunched in January 2024. It has piloted two programs--Girls Design for Good and The STEMINIST Fest- both providing Louisiana youth with opportunities to learn and solve problems through STEM. Cathi Cox-Boniol, the Collaborative Lead, cites persistence as the Collaborative's greatest accomplishment. "I think my proudest moments came when I saw other Louisiana STEM (LASTEM) Centers posting or sharing our newsletter and knew they found value in it as well." Look for the Louisiana Girls Collaborative's first public share-a-thon session that will be held during the statewide LASTEM Summit in Lafayette on October 8, 2024. Learn more.
