Halmos College Continues Working with NSU-AAUW’s ESTEAM Project Around the University

On January 14, seven girls from PACE came to NSU to participate in NSU-AAUW’s ESTEAM Project for Girls. During their visit, they worked with MBA in Marketing alumna Bridgett Guerrero on how they can create a simple video game using computer coding. They also had the opportunity to try out virtual reality goggles. Ms. Guerrero is a partner and regional manager of Logiscool in Davie, Florida.

During lunch, the girls heard from a panel of current Halmos College students about the college experience. These students included Jessica Hallett, Brianna Thompson, Annette Mathew and Samruddhi Ayachit. After this lunch panel, the students went to the Alvin Sherman Library. There librarians Sarena Hicks and Sarah Devine facilitated a scavenger hunt to show the students about resources available throughout the library.

After their tour, the students visited the Craig and Barbara Weiner Holocaust Reflection and Resource Center. This center offers Nova Southeastern University students and the general public a place to learn about, and to contemplate, the horrendous acts that result from intolerance and hate. The PACE girls were very moved by what they learned.

Their next visit is scheduled for Feb. 18. Please contact Julie Torruellas Garcia, Director of the E-STEAM Project for Girls, at jg1511@nova.edu, if you would like to get involved.
