Roxbury Students And Girl Scouts Learning STEM Skills

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The potential next generation of builders and project managers are
hard at work here at the Rafael Hernandez School in Roxbury.
Students are taking part in a program for STEM Week
with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, where they learned
about what it takes to be part of a construction project.
In this case, they're building a new playground out of
plastic tubes, tape, and more. Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll is
here to beat with kids.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Students who are here are excited about building a playground,
understanding a budget, doing the measurements, working as a team.
I think we've really seen these students working at different tables.
You make the list, I'll go get the supplies. All
of those are really important things they're going to need
their whole life.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Betsy kul Can put on the event for the Girl Scouts,
and she says introducing kids to STEM at a young
age can open doors for them down the line.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Understanding that there are ways that you can be creative
and be successful and have fun, spark interest. Doing these
some things makes it so much easier for them to
choose these pathways going forward.
