In Loving Memory of Ronya Kozmetsky

June 8, 1921- October 15, 2011

"Technology is a great friend to women. It will allow women to change the way we do business and raise our children in the next century." Ronya Kozmetsky

Ronya Kozmetsky was a champion of women and girls. She was an advocate and supporter of Girlstart, helping us provide more girls with after school opportunities in STEM education. The book that inspired our founding, Options for Girls: A Door to the Future (by Meg Wilson) was dedicated to her. We are grateful for her inspiration, generosity, and leadership in the advancement of women and girls.

McBee Elementary School

Liquid Circuits

Metals in paper clips, wires, and binding clips are conductors because they let electricity pass through them. Did you know that certain liquids can also be conductors? The Girlstart participants at McBee Elementary created a circuit to test if certain liquids were conductors. They discovered that the solutions containing ions can conduct electricity.


Part of the engineering design process is brainstorming! Girlstart participants write down their great ideas in their notebooks so they don't forget any of them.
