Steminism 2.0: Women in Innovation & Curie-osity Project @ UCSB

The Curie-osity Project is a collaborative effort between the McEnroe Reading Clinic and Girls Inc.(link is external), the Curie-osity Project introduces young women in grades 4 through 6 to the women scientists and engineers of the UC Santa Barbara community.

The students:

Read and then hold discussions about famous women scientists, considering what we know, what we would want to know (if we had the chance to ask),
Develop an interview protocol for learning about current female scientists and engineers,
Visit labs and research sites of these female scientists and engineers
Conduct interviews and explore and engage in some of the work that they do,
Collect written, audio/video records of visits and interviews
Use these records to create summaries about each featured scientist/engineer,
Consolidate these summaries to create a book on women scientists and engineers of Santa Barbara.

Steminism 2.0: Women in Innovation presented Prof. Chandra Krintz in Spring 2018. You can view the video the students put together at the link below, titled, Girl Power Video.
