Sunday's "build it" workshop brought cheers from the 16 curious students, in third through sixth grades, who brought their enthusiasm and their creativity to Connelly School of the Holy Child on a sunny afternoon. The event, planned to inspire young women to develop 21st-century skills as well as a love of STEAM projects (those in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), allowed them to tinker and discover that failing at one solution only spurs one on to the next — with laughter along the way. The girls made marble mazes and balloon cars, engineering them with pink tape and bottles and all manner of "stuff." The girls thrilled to 3-D demonstration and heard from Tech Club leaders about building robots and drones. Each took home a certificate, and special 3-D-printed Tiger medallion with her name.
