Girls Have IT Day! is held annually in March to encourage, engage, and excite middle school girls in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). Studies show that girls lose interested in STEAM from 6th to 9th grade and this event helps keep girls engaged and open to opportunities. Using a powerful mentorship model, girls work with hands-on activities to learn more about STEAM. Join us at ASU to try a sample activity and to learn more!

A suspended garden of lightweight translucent forms made of multiple layers of laser cut plexiglas. These computer generated blossoms pulse in response to local real time data such as river water flows, barometric pressure, CO2 levels and air particulate readings. In addition, the environment reacts dramatically to people passing under it through responsive sound and quickening light pulses. What music will you create as you walk through? Created by Mary Neubaeur and Todd Ingalls.
Come check out sustainability and how you can make a positive impact in your own neighborhood and city.
