MORPHING MATTER FOR GIRLS

Morphing Matter Lab @ CMU and SEEDs Studio Lab
Supported by National Science Foundation

We bring fun hands-on STEM exploration activities to girls and encourage them to design creative projects with morphing materials, in the contexts of fashion, food, ecology, etc.

We hope we can spark their curiosity, interest, and confidence in interdisciplinary domains that combine science, art, design, and engineering.

This platform is for the next generation of young girls who want to become designers, engineers, makers, inventors, or all of the above.
