SciGirls 2 2014: Day 10 (Eeek!): Projects and SEAC

Oh my goodness, another year of SciGirls 2 is in the books! This has been an exciting and rewarding experience for all three of the SciGirls 2 teachers; we sincerely thank all of the girls for just being their awesome selves and their guardians for allowing them to participate in the camp, as well as for helping shape these girls into amazing, fabulous young ladies that they are.

We started that day working on projects! That's right, your read that correctly, we had your girls complete projects during the summer time. Our girls completed poster projects on a possible future STEM careers. The girls picked a career they were interested in and then researched what they need to do in order to accomplish their career goals. For example, our girls were researching degrees needed, cost of different colleges, years spent in school, future salaries, and so much more! We were very impressed with their possible future career choices; they ranged from marine biologists to neurologists to computer programmers! Whatever these ladies choose to do, we know that they will be some of the most successful ladies in their fields :)

After diligently working on their projects for three hours, the girls reenergized with lunch, and prepared for the next activity, an archaeology dig and presentation. The girls learned a bit about archaeology and then headed outside to the mock dig site. The girls excavated different archeological remnants and collected data :) and then it rained :( Unfortunately we had to head back inside, but we still had an exciting time inside. The girls analyzed bones and pottery.

We can't wait to see everyone at the reception! Again, we sincerely want to thank the girls for being so kick butt, and remember SciGirls ruleeeeeeeeeee!
