This week has been incredibly exciting for GBC. First on Wednesday mentors Samantha and Sree were awarded a Teens 4 Change Grant! Thank you both for the dedication, time, and effort you put into that project! The very next day, GBC mentors volunteered at Woolslair Elementary School's Celebrate STEAM day! We raced rockets and explored the science behind (mini) explosions! Thank you Assemble and Woolslair for the opportunity! Expect announcements for our 2015 camps sometime this week. I hope that you are as excited as we are!
