Sunnyvale Week 2 Girlstart Summer Registration

Primates and cacti and fish, oh my! Bring the relationship between animals and plants to life as you engineer a circuit bug and design a unique axolotl habitat. Create a glider that soars with the birds, learn about bioluminescence, and program a turtle-saving device. From tiny terrariums to elephant adaptations, campers will use STEM to explore their favorite living things!


Girlstart is excited to offer a FREE week-long summer 'Wild World' session!


Girlstart's summer programs are completely FREE for 4th-5th grade girls in your school thanks to the generosity of our supporters. We are proud to recognize and celebrate our sponsors here: https://girlstart.org/support-girlstart/our-donors/
