Hello world,

As our Silver Award comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to look back. Over a very interesting one year, we managed to create a 50 slide intensive welcome guide for the new teams, film a ten minute recruitment documentary, design a cohesive website, get invited to present at a workshop for younger Girl Scouts, and so much more. It's been a difficult but rewarding journey and we are ever grateful that you joined us on it.

So what exactly does our Silver Award finishing mean? Well for starters, it means we're getting ready to submit our project to the Girl Scout Silver Award Council who then reviews it before deciding to approve it or not. Once approved, we actually get the award which happens to be the highest honor that can be bestowed on Cadettes (yay!). This also means that after this point, we will no longer actively add to this project. Ultimately, this project will still continue to live on- as characteristic of any Silver Award which must be sustainable. So please, continue using our resources and share them with others if you find them helpful. Despite us finishing this project, we would still love to hear from you so feel free to reach out if you have any comments or concerns.

This journey is almost over but we can't end it without thanking all the people who helped us along the way. We've worked with some awesome people including some amazing teams and especially our troop leader and project advisor. Thank you Hanna Vu, Google Robotics Program Coordinator, and Muryum Siddiqui, 60629 Troop Leader, for always offering just the right type of guidance and making this project possible.

And so for the last time…

Stay safe and peace out,

Khadija, Amina, & Zaynab

 
 

Hello world!

A bit behind schedule but we're finally done! From all of our brainstorming to the countless hours Amina spent editing, we're proud to present: Robotics Beyond the Gender Gap Alumni Documentary! You can find it both on the projects page and YouTube as well as the link provided down below. Attached below, you'll find it’s trailer, a simplified version of the documentary with some exclusive footage, so hope you enjoy it! We’d like to thank all the girls who participated for being part of this journey with us. Without you, this documentary would have never been possible and I’m sure all the young girls who will watch this will appreciate this. Thank you for being awesome and good luck with the oncoming season!

Stay safe!

Every year, Google hosts a Girl Powered orientation to encourage girls to join robotics programs like VEX. This is the very event that got us into VEX too, and we've been eternally grateful. Attend this year on July 31st - August 1st to have an epic time!
