In "Fearless Flyers," the girls at the Santa Barbara Center have been learning about the science of aviation, about famous female pilots of the past and present, and about how to create their own flying creations! Wind resistance, aerodynamics and altitude are just some of the concepts they learned throughout the quarter. Girls took a field trip to the Santa Barbara Airport to hear what it takes to become a pilot (from one of the female captains!) and how math and different terminology are used to navigate a plane.

As a part of implementing the Girls Inc. Mind+Body Toolkit, girls at Goleta Valley have been practicing mindfulness techniques by participating in activities that draw attention to the connection between the mind and body. Through mindful eating, meditative nature walks, bubble breathing exercises, and yoga, girls are making their minds and bodies strong.
