Girl Scouts Spend a STEM day on the Beach

Early in July 2019, the Girl Scouts of South Florida, with their families and friends came to the Von D Mizell – Eula Johnson State Park to spend a hot Saturday learning about marine and coastal ecosystems.

As part of this event, Halmos College Director of Academic Support Melissa Dore, Ed.D. worked with these families on understanding the marine animals and their environs. This included the popular game “What is it?” as well as hands on activities using marine specimens.

Girl Scouts takes the potential of girls, combines it with robust skill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models. Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship, and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her.
