And They're Off!!!!!



Welcome to Day 3 of the alum camp!





Today's amazing lunch was from Mesilla Valley BBQ Company. We had so much delicious food.

Once the girls were finished eating, they were led to the lecture hall to learn about entrepreneurship. Maria Borchert from Arrowhead Center came to talk to the YWiC alum and GK-12 students about the Innoventure program that they hold during the summer. The girls learned about what entrepreneurship is and how they can become entrepreneurs. Then they filled out a handout (after a situation involving pens) and tried to figure out how they could turn their interest into opportunities.  

After that, the girls went back into the Ice Box to get working. The girls were able to finalize their ideas and start making them a reality. The camp instructors and helpers walked around to see what everyone was working on, and we were quite impressed with the creativity of this group. The girls made lots of progress on their projects and they look so awesome. 

After their independent work session, we took the girls outside to play Guess Who?. The girls were given cards with the name of famous women (and girls) and were told that they could only ask yes or no questions to find out who they are. It was really fun and the girls were pretty quick with finding out who they were. Of course, there were some difficult cards, but in the end these girls managed to figure it out. 

When that was done, the girls went back inside to learn more about Blender. They learned about colors and how to copy the blocks, two things that are very helpful when creating objects.
