To my Bloomington-Normal community... The IWU MakerGirl Academy is partnering with For A Better Tomorrow in their STEAM Olympics program, in partnership with Illinois Wesleyan University! For those who may not know, MakerGirl is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gender gap in STEM by teaching young girls about STEM through 3D printing. Although our target audience is girls, we welcome boys to join our sessions. The IWU MakerGirl Academy is excited to teach young students about STEM and 3D printing, as well as have the opportunity to make their own 3D design. Our 3D printing workshops will take place on Saturday, April 20th, 2024 on the IWU campus. If you know families with children within grades 2nd through 8th grade and are ecstatic about STEM and/or 3D printing, this program is FOR them!! To register for STEAM Olympics, visit tinyurl.com/FBT-STEAM. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to FBT at contactus@forbettertomorrow.org or mansishah@makergirl.us. #steameducation

Illinois Wesleyan University had its Homecoming weekend this past weekend with several events and fun activities to partake in. The IWU MakerGirl Academy had its first Homecoming session for this semester and our ChangeMaker team educated a total of 17 MakerGirls, which is a great milestone for our academy! We had IWU faculty/staff, alums, and friends register their children to learn about STEM and 3D printing in our two hour session. The MakerGirls got to design their own 3D prints on Chromebooks and will get their prints mailed to them in the next couple of weeks. As a co-leader of this wonderful academy, along with Victoria Ballesteros-Gonzalez, we are so grateful to The Petrick Idea Center for sponsoring our academy and MakerGirl for giving us the opportunity to teach young kids about STEM.
