Taco Tuesday!! (JK, we had tacos yesterday...)

Welcome to Day 2!!

These mustaches are too good to shave for later ;)

Hope your day is amazing so far, High School Alum!

Today started with delicious pizza. Always a favorite among us YWiC girls. Once all the amazing pizza was devoured, the girls returned to the Ice Box to get started on their independent projects. 

Sigh. It feels like just yesterday all these girls were wide-eyed and bushy tailed, all new to the program. As someone who's been a part of YWiC for nearly seven years, I am so happy to see these girls come into their own and take ownership of their projects. This is their time to shine, and we are so excited to help them in any way we can.

After their independent work time, Ari and I had the girls move to a semi-open area of the Ice Box to get their blood flowing with a challenge. The girls were given cards with a number on it and had to order themselves without talking or using their hands. Since most of them have done this challenge before, we decided to make it harder for them. The girls had to line up in order, and then odds first and then evens. They were really good at ordering themselves, so I had them line up in the following pattern: 1, 19, 2, 18, 3, 17,...etc.

The girls were great at it and finished early. After they finished the activity, the girls learned about Blender. They had some snacks while watching a short video and seemed very interested in the platform. We handed a paper with the keyboard short-cuts and the girls were tasked with finding references for their maze games. They got to learn and explore Blender to get more familiar with it. It was a little confusing to learn about how to click and making sure they all had mouses that could middle click, but we figured it out. 

All in all, it was a pretty good day.
