In March 2015 I volunteered at the UC Berkeley EYH event to inspire middle school girls in STEM.
EYHN is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing gateway STEM experiences to middle and high school girls that spark interest in STEM activities and careers. We are guided by the understanding that engaging with female STEM role models and participating in hands-on STEM activities can help girls begin to see themselves pursuing STEM activities and careers.
Our activity involved creating mini spining circuits with a battery and a paper clip--the challenge was to see what creative shapes the girls could create and still make it work!
