AAUW-NSU and Halmos Team Up to Build PACE E-STEAM

On October 7, NSU AAUW went to the PACE Center for Girls for the first session of the E-STEAM Project. There the volunteers set up three activity stations. These included “Coding with Ozobots”, where girls learned how to write code for a small robot that responds to color patterns, “Lemon Power”, where girls learned how to make a battery out of lemons to light up a small, LED bulb, and “Art/Monoprinting”, where the girls created a design with paint on a styrofoam cup and learned how to monoprint the design onto paper.

NSU faculty volunteers for this project included Julie Torruellas Garcia, Ph.D. from Halmos College, Randi Sims, Ph.D. from the Huizenga College of Business, and Kandy Lopez-Moreno, M.F.A. from the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. NSU student volunteers included Art and Design Major Paige Allen and Biology Majors Brianna Thompson, Kyle Hansotia, and Muhammad-Altamash Jawadi.

The Nova Southeastern University branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW-NSU) has been collaborating with the Alvin Sherman Library and Broward’s PACE Center for Girls, a delinquency prevention/intervention program for young adolescent girls ages 12-18.
