MORPHING MATTER FOR GIRLS

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.

This initiative grew out of research conducted at Morphing Matter Lab, Carnegie Mellon University, and SEEDs Studio Lab which focuses on hands-on STEM learning.
