All-Girls STEAM - Game Changers

Join us for an action-packed week of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math!

Join us for an action-packed week of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! With exciting and unique topics each day, you’ll get exposure to a wide variety of important STEAM disciplines, ALL of which have been pioneered and influenced by amazing women. With inherently interdisciplinary topics, see how much S.T.E.A.M we can explore in an adventure-filled week.

Experience the power of STEAM in an all-girls setting. Each day, we will dive deeply into an aspect of STEAM and learn about at least one famous woman in STEAM!

(S) Science

Is that clean? Learn about famous scientist Ellen Swallow Richards, who pioneered the field of sanitation science at MIT and helped bring about cleaner water and air for everyone. Learn how to test indoor water and air quality based on her standards! Then, imagine a trip to Antarctica with Dr. Aditi Pant. Would you be able to do science experiments under these conditions?

(T) The Future of Technology

GUI? WIMP? Find out how Adele Goldberg made it possible for us to interact seamlessly with phones, tablets, and computers. Use your new knowledge to design an app using a unique drag-and-drop interface. No coding skills are required! Does AI pique your interest? Next, learn about Fei-Fei Li, who started AI4ALL, which advocates for human-centered AI principles and increasing diversity.

(E) Engineer like the Greats

Renewable energy is a growing field, but hydroelectric power has existed for many years. Learn about engineer Edith Clarke, who helped design the Hoover Dam. Participate in a series of dam building challenges, including a constraints challenge to understand the difficulties of the Hoover Dam project.

(A) Bridging Art and Technology

The conversion from written and printed typography to fonts was challenging! Learn about Zuzanna Licko, a graphic designer who created many fonts used today. Next, use a digital program to create your own font typeface! Campers may download the font for home use if they wish!

(M) The Power of Math

Learn about the impressive women of Arlington Hall Station whose math skills were at the the heart of Code Purple, the effort to break Japanese code during World War II. Beginning with Genevieve Feinstein, who used coded Shakespeare as her inspiration to break mob code to Ann Caracristi who became the first woman to serve as an NSA Deputy Director, these super spies are amazing mathematicians. Learn about their code breaking skills, solve math code, and find the prize!
