By Danica Chen, Del Norte High SchoolAs the All Girls STEM Society began its fourth annual All Girls Math Tournament on April 15th, 2018, it was clear to see how much the organization had grown since its inception three years ago.
By Danica Chen, Del Norte High School On March 4th, 2018, the All Girls STEM Society held another one of its entertaining Biology workshops at the Mission Valley Library. The workshop began with a set of presentations about the field of biology, followed by two hands-on experiments for the girls to do.
By Danica Chen, Del Norte High School The All Girls STEM Society hosted a chemistry workshop at the Carmel Valley Public Library on February 4th, 2018, teaching girls about surface tension and polarity with chromatography projects, lava lamps, dissolving M&M experiments, and power sailboats.
By Danica Chen, Del Norte High School On February 4th, in a sunny room in the Mission Valley Public Library, All Girls STEM Society hosted its first circuitry workshop for girls from fifth to eighth grade, giving the attendees an opportunity to discover the science of electricity with hands-on experience.
By Danica Chen, Del Norte High School The Robotics Workshop for the Nazareth School Girl Scouts was held at the Mission Valley Library on January 7th, 2018. This workshop taught its participants to control Scribbler robots by learning drag-and-drop programming language.
 The All Girls STEM Society again had the privilege to work with North Suffolk Public Library on March 31, 2018. AGSS did their ever-popular Aerospace workshop here, which entails the giving of a basic presentation on the physics of rocketry (lift, thrust, drag, etc.), building and flying the rockets, and of course, a trivia session. AGSS worked with about 15-20 students on how to build their rockets, and, after winning many prizes and going through the ever-rigorous 'flight inspection,' the students were brought outside to launch their creations. Most rockets went upwards of 200 ft in the air, and the students were extremely excited! The competition round followed after individual flights, where more prizes were distributed for the highest-flying rockets. All in all, this was an exciting day for both the All Girls STEM Society and all those involved. We have been invited back to work further with the Suffolk Public Libraries so stay tuned for more events!
 The All Girls STEM Society Hampton Roads Chapter had the privilege of being invited to the Suffolk Public Library's Women's Fest 2018! The festival, which was held on March 17, 2018, is dedicated to commemorating Women's Month as well as raise awareness of women's issues. It was a very fun day for all involved, as the AGSS team (pictured above) did a stellar job talking to visitors and students alike about AGSS Hampton Road's mission and events. Many students were able to answer some trivia questions, get prizes, and make crafts, all the while learning about how women are underrepresented in STEM. We had many people interested in the mission of the All Girls STEM Society and are looking forward to working with them in the near future. We also even got an interview with the Virginia Pilot!
