EMMA’s First School Visit - Essex Middle School
In September 2015 the inspiration from the Girls Make IT Day lead to EMMA’s first visit to a school - Essex Middle School.
The middle school girls from Essex had been very active in spreading maker centered learning to others in their school. Maya and Grace modeled and presented the switch book project to a group of 12 eager, new classmates.
The girls have become leaders among their peers.
As a next step, we invited Essex Middle School to help design EMMA’s first visit to the Champlain MiniMaker Faire.
During EMMA’s visit to the school, ten young women signed up to help design the exhibit. They not only learned increased their confidence with circuits and codes, they also worked on their leadership skills and provided provided a service to other young women by serving as role models.
