My daughter loves this weekly virtual program for girls that was founded and is taught by a local teacher, Emily Blomquist. Each week, they read a book together about a woman in ‘HERstory,’ followed by a STEM project and activity related to that person’s accomplishments. All supplies for the class are delivered to your house in the most adorably curated project kit I’ve ever seen.” – Heather Reneau
