Girls Rising Strong (GRS) and its counterpart, Boys Breaking Through (BBT), are research-based character development programs curated specifically for upper elementary-aged adolescents navigating the critical transition from childhood to adolescence. Today’s girls are growing up in an environment saturated with social comparison, perfectionism, and pressure to please, often before they reach middle school. According to Common Sense Media, girls as young as 10 are now spending nearly 5 hours a day on screens, leading to increased anxiety, low self-worth, and early body image concerns. Girls Rising Strong (GRS) is a transformative character development course that empowers girls to navigate these challenges with clarity, confidence, and courage. Through hands-on activities, reflective discussion, and guided mentorship, girls explore character traits such as self-awareness, kindness, humility, bravery, and emotional regulation. Every session involves age-appropriate guidance and a safe, judgment-free environment where girls build strong values and lasting friendships. Participant toolkits are included to help reinforce growth and communication at home. Elevateadolescenceprogram@gmail.com www.elevateadolescence.com girlsrisingstrong.org or IG @girlsrisingstrong

Teams of students will compete to out-program, out-design and out-build their peers in a friendly competition between schools at the end of the term. Using the LEGO MINDSTORM EV3 and RC battle bot platforms, students will learn programming and building skills that will translate nicely to the FLL competition we compete in each Fall. For those not necessarily interested in competing in the SUMO challenge, there will be options to build a host of helper bots as well as the robotic arena itself. Returning students will be given the freedom to build upon past experiences on new platforms and challenges. Activities focus on honing critical thinking skills, perseverance and teamwork as students learn to program, use sensors and design attachments. In addition to building a robot for the competition, we will take time out of each session to explore other robotics platforms as we expand our robotic horizons. Some of the robots we will use include: Hexbug Nanos, Spheros, Lego Mindstorms and more. Program-specific questions? Please email Robotix Coach Robert Hill at: steampoweredkids@gmail.com
