Hosting Organization(s): WeMake 4-H
Learners Impacted: 150
To celebrate NJ STEM Month this year, WeMake 4-H held several in-person and virtual workshops with fun STEM activities in Making, coding, and robotics! It was a big success — many people were eagerly waiting to participate in such programs after being stuck at home for two years!
The NJ STEM Month mini-grant was valuable for their STEM 4-Her E-Textile workshops, which were all-girl programs aimed to encourage more female participants in the STEM field. The attendees embedded Lilypad LEDs into clothes with conductive thread, Lilypad battery holders, and Adafruit LED strips to make Light-up Wearables!
