Girls have fun learning at Engineering, Science,
and Technology Day
Marathon hosted a session for Engineering, Science and Technology
Day at the Girl Scout Center on February 21. More than 100
Junior Girl Scouts were taught by 28 Cadette and Senior Girl
Scouts (most of whom had attended EST Day at Marathon in their
younger days).
The girls learned about aerospace, geology, medicine, vibrations,
genetics, geometry and math, time, color, machines, the scientific
method and more. Younger girls had lots of fun earning three
badges, leaders were impressed by the older girls’ abilities
as workshop leaders, and the older girls gained tremendous
self-confidence as they took charge of the day.
Thanks to Marathon for its tremendous support. This was its
tenth year to host an event. |
