The Amazing Adventures of...
Teddy Bear Sean!
Teddy Bear Sean says "What a nice place to relax and learn about ROBOTS!"
Teddy Bear Sean was last spotted hanging out in the new Aberdeen Center of Innovation!
The kid-cozy cubbies in The STEM Center offer a nice place to relax and read, or play on a tablet.
Teddy Bear Sean got the chance to just sit back and kick his feet up while the busy kids around him were learning all about STEM in our wonderful new facility.

Year of the Girl
In 2015 we celebrated a huge milestone- 25 years of service in Harford County! We were blown away by the support and pride of our community members, and are dedicated to continue this momentum in the new year.
Year of the Girl is about bringing awareness to the many girl-focused programs the Clubs offer. Be on the look out for program highlights in each issue of our Newsletter.
Girls Go Global is a new program where we take our Middle School ladies and look at the problems women and children face around the world.
Knowing that male students are over three times more likely to be interested in STEM majors and careers compared to female students, STEM initiatives like Girls Go Global is the first step to helping girls realize their STEM potential.
Recently, Girls Go Global focused on the issue of African women spending hours a day carrying up to 40 pounds of water back to their villages. Our ladies in Girls Go Global brought together materials to make a more ergonomic solution. Great work ladies!
