The STEAM Center at Burnham Woods

STEAM is a key program focus for Girl Scouts - Diamonds, and that focus is particularly strong at the ever-evolving space at Burnham Woods. Girl Scouting introduces girls of all ages to STEAM activities that help develop their creativity and hone their critical thinking skills. Whether it’s building a robot, learning to code, or conducting electrical experiments, we are helping girls move into a future that is constantly changing and evolving. Like all Girl Scout programs, STEAM activities offer girls the opportunity to explore and learn in a safe, peer-supportive, “okay-to-fail” environment. This increases girls’ confidence in their own abilities, enhances self-reflection and evaluation skills, and encourages positive social development.
