In the last year, Science Club for Girls has undergone some memorable changes. Changes that now allow even more girls in Cambridge the opportunity to experience free, after school science activities. After our incorporation in 2003, SCFG has expanded to serve 7 schools in Cambridge plus a community church in Newton! Thanks to the support of our sponsors we've been able to provide science mentoring and leadership to a diversity of girls from all over Cambridge. This year, we expect well over 300 students and 75 volunteers to share the magic of science through our project!

You may know Danica McKellar from the Wonder Years and the West Wing but acting isn't Danica's only interest. Danica's favorite subject in school was math. She majored in pure math at UCLA and earned a Bachelor's of Science in Math. She even authored an original math theorem! Something that not many actors can say. Because of her achievement in math, she was selected to be featured on our web site.

Even after most of the activities at our Community Event on Nov. 2nd were over, our Media Team Junior Assistants were still hard at work. They interviewed two Science Club for Girls' supporters. The Media Team JA's wanted to know what SCFG supporters thought of the event. They interviewed Dr. Carole Locke of Omega Natural Science and Dr. Timothy Chow. Read what our girls discovered.

Sarah Montero-Elliot is a second grader at the Amigos school, and has been chosen as Student Scientist of The Month. The Thing Sarah likes the most about science club is drawing and painting things about rainbows. Her favorite experiment in science club was working with prisms. She has participated in the Clubs since she was in first grade (and since the Amigos School moved into the King Open building.) She is a seven-year-old whose favorite subjects are reading, writing, and math. She tells us that she does like science. But, at the moment, she wants to become a soccer player when she grows up!
