STEM PARTNERSHIP
This year we partnered with DIY Girls and Sylmar Charter HS became their second high school site. 10 of our Girls Build members joined DIY Girls and have committed to teaching others about STEM. DIY Girls meets weekly throughout the year and receive support from instructors to learn different skills such as soldering, coding, 3D design and printing, hardware assembly, etc. DIY Girls was open to all students from Sylmar CHS and a total of 23 female students are part of this school year's Invent Girls team.

FIELD TRIPS
This school year, our goal was to plan different field trips for students. The field trips were open to Girls Build LA and other students to discover STEM fields, gain interest, and network. Students went to UCSB, Mount Saint Mary's University, UCLA, and the California Science Center.
California Science Center Trip: Girls Build LA and 20 other students went on the field trip which was an opportunity open to all students.
# of Participants: 45 students

RECRUITMENT/EDUCATION
College Fair DIY Girls Table: Our Girls Build/DIY Girls members tabled during the Sylmar Charter HS College, Career and Resource Fair. They shared a sneak peek into their project for the school year, shared information for next school year's project, and shared insight on the skills they've learned. We also invited NASA and LADWP to share the different career and training opportunities.
# of Participants: 200-300 students

Girls Build/DIY Girls members have received training and will facilitate and lead workshops for students next school year. Through the GBLA/LATTC cohort, students in the robotics class will teach Sylmar students skills they learned. Five of our students have also been selected to take part in the Global Innovation Race at Stanford University. This will be an 11 day trip that will focus on technology.
DIY GIRLS EXPO
Our members will showcase their project at the Expo on Thursday, May 22! The event will highlight the work of our 2023-2024 Invent Girls, 19 Sylmar Charter High School students who have been working diligently to create their Digital Safes. Our participants have embarked on an exhilarating journey with their Spring capstone project - the Arduino-based “Digital Safe.” Picture this: a personalized safe, meticulously crafted by each participant, featuring either a fingerprint scanner or RFID locking mechanism. It's a modern twist on the classic dancing ballerina jewelry box!
