  • 👩🔬🔬Young STEMinists are exploring the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at Girls Inc. of Worcester (GIW)! GIW was recently awarded interactive STEM kits, which have enhanced their after-school programming for middle school girls. The bacteria culture kit sparked curiosity and experimentation, encouraging girls to swab different areas of the building to determine the 🦠germiest🦠 objects. After letting the bacteria grow for a week, participants swapped stories about their findings. 🧫 🌟 Thank you Nasdaq and Rare Beauty Brands for assembling these engaging kits, and Generus for organizing these meaningful volunteer projects! #wfboston #strongsmartbold #nonprofitorganization
