We recently connected with the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles and participated in its STEM SHEroes event at Compton’s Kennedy Elementary School. The event was designed to inspire and motivate girls to pursue an interest STEM, and we were on site with Cozmo to demonstrate his robotics technologies and coding features, and illuminate how he can be used to develop a spectrum of STEM skills. The day concluded with attendees earning an official Girl Scouts STEM patch.

Joining the local Girl Scouts leaders and Cozmo in the day’s activities were two wonderful organizations: MAES: Latinos in Science and Engineering (California State University, Long Beach chapter), and the Society of Women Engineers (University of California, Los Angeles chapter). To find out more about the organizations, please visit the respective sites linked below.

We’d like to offer our sincere thanks to the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles for giving us the opportunity to participate in its inspiring event, and allowing Cozmo to take part in its members earning a Girl Scout STEM patch.

One important area the Girls Scouts program focuses on is STEM. Members who participate in its STEM programs learn not only how to become better problem-solvers, but also how science, technology, engineering, and math can be used to make the world a better place.

Recently, we were fortunate enough to be invited to bring Cozmo to the Girls Scouts of Orange County’s second annual STEM Expo at California State University. There, 450 Girls Scouts, parents, and others were able to learn about Cozmo, his robotics technology, and how Code Lab and the SDK can be used in STEM education. Suffice it to say, Cozmo was a big hit.

We’d like to give a sincere thanks to everyone at the Girl Scouts of Orange County for giving us the opportunity to take part in their wonderful event. (And for the delicious Girl Scouts cookies!)

That’s a wrap!
