Girls in STEM
On Saturday, October 29, the Tulane University Undergraduate Science Department held the "Girls in STEM" event. This event allowed my peers and I to not only volunteer, but to support young girls in science. My role for the event was to photograph all the groups while participating in experiments. Being a photographer for event might seem like a small role, I felt that it was rewarding to capture the young girls being excited about learning and science. I believe the moments from the event can encourage other young girls to be curious about the way things work around us. The event bought elementary and middle school aged girls together from all over New Orleans. I believe an enriching experience was created by demonstrating to the children that there are many ways science works and shows up in our everyday lives. As a strong advocate for providing opportunities for children, I believe this event cultivated a safe and inviting environment to learn. Ser
