Girl Up MAIS
I started Girl Up MAIS and led a team of 30 students. We organised a ‘Girl Up APL’ soccer match to encourage girls to participate in sports and also wrote and distributed positivity notes to students and teachers in school to spread joy.
​​
We were granted $450 by the United Nations as part of a ‘Girl Up STEM Project Award’ in order to organise an event in my school to promote science amongst middle schoolers, especially girls, and encourage them to pursue a STEM field. The event involves training the entire Girl Up MAIS team on conducting experiments as well as explaining the science behind it to the participants. We organised 6 sessions of science experiments for students of grade 5. In April, we will be conducting these same sessions with students of a government school. We will also be providing them with science experiment kits.

Pictures and videos from the experiments can be viewed on the following links:
