SPIN Girls Monthly Newsletter | April 2021

Happy Spring!

I hope you all are staying safe and feeling hopeful about the future. The SPIN team is almost fully vaccinated and so excited to see you all in person as soon as we can! 

In this month's newsletter, you'll find a recap of our activities in March and what your students can look forward to in April. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. - Nell

MONTHLY RECAP

Lab Day: Luminous Cohort started working on their Capstone project - designing a bio-inspired backpack for a client that fits in a specific environment. Stellar Cohort dove deeper into designing their apps and started putting things in their Lucidchart projects. Epic Cohort identified their post-HS hopes and concerns and continued working on their climate change projects. One group even met up in person and did their experiment!
