NBC3 Meteorologist pays a visit with Chavez Elementary
SAFG's dedication to empowering girls in STEM education was recently showcased in a segment on NBC3 Bay Area's Earth Week/Climate Change series. Meteorologist Vianey Arana, a panelist at SAfG's Women Who Lead event last fall, reached out to the organization to feature their efforts in empowering and delivering programs for young scientists. The segment highlighted Chavez Elementary as the selected school site for interviewing girls, and Holly Bluhm, SAFG program manager, shared insights on how the organization inspires and encourages young girls to explore STEM.
It’s wonderful to see Scientific Adventures for Girls helping young students build confidence and curiosity in STEM. Programs like these can have a lasting impact by showing girls that careers in science, technology, engineering, and math are both accessible and exciting. I enjoy seeing educational initiatives like this because they encourage problem-solving and creativity—qualities that also make games like Slope Rider engaging, where players use timing, physics, and quick decision-making to navigate challenging snowy courses.
Snowrider does a fantastic job of encouraging self-improvement. Since each run is unique, players always have a chance to travel farther, collect more gifts, or survive longer than before. This continuous pursuit of personal records makes every session feel meaningful and rewarding.
My younger brother showed me eggy car last week and now the whole family is trying to beat each other’s distance records. Funny concept, but the physics make it genuinely fun.
