Please join Girls Inc. of Chattanooga for a SciGirls end-of-camp presentation for parents and the community this Friday, June 26 at 5 p.m. It is a great opportunity to learn from the girls, ages 6-11, about what they learned in camp!
SciGirls is a four week camp focused on the environment and is funded in part through a National Science Foundation grant distributed by Twin Cities Public Television. It is based upon their award winning series. Girls Inc. of Chattanooga was one of only nine grantees across the country. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the largest science museum in the world, also received a grant.
The presentation will be held at the downtown library in the auditorium. Please let RSVP to Joy Johnson at jjohnson@girlsincofchatt.org if you will be able to attend.

Math is everywhere–in the playroom, in the kitchen, and on the bus. Thanks to TERC, an education research and development organization in Cambridge, MA, girls in Chattanooga will be doing more math as part of their everyday lives. In March 2009, Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga received a donation of 18 “At home with math” family games and activity booklets. The materials, designed for children from 5 to 11, show how math can keep everyone occupied while waiting in line, cleaning up, and making dinner. Development of “At home with math” was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
Girls Inc. will include the games in our upcoming summer camps–SciGirls during June and Operation SMART(R) during July.
“Math is a critical skill for our girls to master,” said Bea Lurie, President and CEO of Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga. “At Girls Inc. we try to dispel the stereotypes surrounding math, science and technology and encourage our girls to succeed in those areas.”
