Girls work in small teams to help each other, decide on a shared solution and solve problems
collaborative learning
Use catchy, fun text to tell people what you offer.
Engineering Design Process
EDP approach is encouraged among girls during the problem solving tasks, so that they learn to think like engineers.
We encourage the girls to be innovators and risk takers. We believe that there are no failures, only solutions that are "more or less" effective.
Safe learning environment
We are totally open to getting feedback from the girls to learn what interests them. We will also track their interest level periodically to gauge their level of interest.
