The g4g / BSU partnership
History & goals
BSU and g4g are working together to help inspire the future leaders of STEM!
We have been working together with Bridgewater State University for four years, providing learning experiences to encourage girls to consider STEM-related careers when we decided to establish an official partnership, in June 2018.
Every year for the past four years we organized g4g Days @BSU inviting more than 130 girls aged 11-15 every time. Now is time for more!
We believe that education will provide growth opportunities to these girls, and we want to help them reach their full potential. From teacher training, to Science Summer camps, to a University Ambassador program, and more g4g events… We have many exciting ideas to make this partnership a unique experience!
Our past events with BSU
g4g @Bridgwater State University in 2019
On April 6th, 2019, we welcomed 135 girls aged 11-15 for our 4th annual g4g Day @BSU! They all experienced two fund and hands-on experiments and got inspired by the wonderful role models who spoke during our opening ceremony. Girls discovered everything there is to know about robots, extreme weather, environmental engineering, aviation, craters on the moon, 3d design, and so much more! This event was also possible thanks to the brilliant collaboration with BSU's Center for the Advancement of STEM Education.
g4g @Bridgewater State University in 2018
On April 7, we welcomed 130 girls for our 3rd annual g4g Day @BSU in partnership with BSU's Center for the Advancement of STEM Education (CASE). After meeting with Dr. Diana Fox, Professor of Anthropology and Department Chair at BSU, our guest speaker for the event, the girls got to spend their morning engaged in hands-on workshops showing the link between STEM and their everyday life. One of our favorite moments? When one of the girls made her own model of the lungs in a bottle and shouted “Everything is Science!”!
g4g @Bridgwater State University in 2017
On April 22nd, 2017, we welcomed 150 girls aged 11-15 for our 2nd annual g4g Day @BSU! Thanks to the exciting welcome words from M. Caitlin Fisher-Reid, Assistant Professor of Biology at BSU, the day was off to a great start! The girls then explored the different hands-on STEM workshops, guided by STEM role model volunteers & professionals. This event was also possible thanks to the brilliant collaboration with BSU's Center for the Advancement of STEM Education.
g4g @Bridgewater State University in 2016
On April 23rd 2016, 150 girls from Bridgewater and local surroundings of Massachusetts, USA experienced the very first g4g Day at BSU! We had a blast with them exploring our interactive workshops in all aspects of STEM - learning to code with professionals from Cisco, experiencing robotics with the help of a team from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, learning food science using Kool-Aid with scientists from Waters Corporation, creating a DNA necklace with our g4g team and so much more!
