Today, Envirolution had the pleasure of working wi Today, Envirolution had the pleasure of working with the @greatbasinoutdoorschool for their spring break camp.
 
"Energy is Everywhere" was today's topic and we were thrilled to be able to talk with the students about different types and forms of energy.  We also got the student up and moving with a fun Name That Energy game and a demo of the energy bike.

Today we partnered with Tesla for the 4th year in Today we partnered with Tesla for the 4th year in a row to celebrate Introduce a Girl to Engineering day; a day dedicated to inspiring and empowering young girls and showing them what an exciting career Engineering is.  We had over 1,200 girls register from four states, representing over 130 schools!  And we can't forget to mention over 200 volunteers helped out to make this day a reality! The girls received an interactive virtual experience and each participant received an event kit that included an exclusive Engineer Like a Girl t-shirt, and all the materials needed to build their own simple motor. They blew us away with their excitement and interaction, we answered more than 6000 questions. 
We did it!  We did not let a pandemic stop us from hosting this amazing event with our incredible partner Tesla. 

A huge thank you to all the participants, volunteers, and Envirolution Staff that helped make this event such a big success!
