The EdLab Group
The EdLab Group is a dynamic organization dedicated to educational innovation. EdLab Group is unique in using collaboration as a catalyst for improving teacher professional development as well as providing access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for populations often underrepresented in these areas. What can we do for you?
Science Journalism Pathways
The Science Journalism Pathways to STEM Careers project has finished the second year of partnership between Tincan, Reel Grrls, and the EdLab Group.
The project taps the digital practices and interests of middle school girls and uses them to provide insight and experience with science knowledge and careers at after school clubs throughout Washington. For a second year, girls have been analyzing a news story about a local issue, such as pesticide use, and carrying out simple hands on science experiments to learn about the science behind the issues.

SeaBots Summer Camp a Success
This summer TechREACH hosted SeaBots, a week-long camp at Edmonds Community College for girls ages 10-13. The camp was implemented using exciting new underwater robotics curriculum created at the Stevens Institute of Technology's Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education (CIESE). SeaBots introduced eleven middle school girls to marine science and engineering as they designed and programmed working Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) using LEGO Mindstorms™. The girls were charged with the task of maneuvering around an above ground pool to fulfill three separate marine science missions, including exploring a coral reef and investigating a sunken ship. The girls learned about computer programming, the engineering design process, and basic principles of physics. Women scientists visited the camp to share stories about their paths to their career, and the girls even got to see a real ROV take flight in their own pool.
USA Science & Engineering Festival
October 10-24, 2010, Washington, D.C.
The National Girls Collaborative Project will be one of 500 participating science and engineering organizations. There will be hands-on, fun science activities to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers! The culmination of the Festival will be a two- day Expo on the National Mall, October 23-24, 2010.
NGCP Collaboration Conference
October 21 & 22, 2010, Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill
The National Girls Collaborative Project brings together organizations throughout the United States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Collaboration Conference is an opportunity for representatives from these organizations to connect and learn from each other and national level experts. Regional collaborative leadership members will be in attendance as well as representatives from a wide variety of NGCP partners. For more information, please visit the Conference Web site.
