Challenge Island and Girl Scouts
Challenge Island® partners with Girl Scout councils nationwide, and we also offer fully interactive, hands-on STEAM Girl Scout virtual workshops for girls of all ages - Daisy through Ambassador! This workshop is taught by a certified Challenge Island Owner who is also a Lifetime Girl Scout and a former Girl Scout Council Director.
But girls be warned: These are not sit-watch-a-video and do the activity on your own types of classes! These classes are fully interactive with the teacher and the other kids on the call and completely hands-on, just as our in-person classes are.
So come join us on our interactive online classes and connect with your troop members and new Girl Scout friends. We have put together a special workshop just for you!
· * Our whimsical, creativity-based STEM/STEAM curriculum inspires girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
· * The Scientific Method / Engineering Design Process is used by girls throughout every challenge as our cross-curricular island themes extends their learning across multiple disciplines.
· * Both left & right sides of the brain are utilized as innovative, creative thinking is encouraged and celebrated.
· * Challenges emphasize valuable skills such as communication, critical & creative thinking, flexibility, leadership, initiative, social skills, grit, & perseverance.
· * Our workshops prepare the fun, lively G.I.R.L. of today for the ever-changing global marketplace of the future.

Cadette Entrepreneur Badge Workshop
WEDNESDAY, April 13
6:00-8:00 PM Eastern
In small groups online, girls will use the Engineering Design Process to create, design, & build an African Safari Park tourist business; creating a business plan, Logo & Tagline, developing expenses & revenue, and identifying who are their customers. They will then develop and give a presentation pitch to an “Investor Board” and ask for seed money to “fund” their business to get it started. Our own personal Shark Tank experience!
Girls are encouraged to wear their sash/vest.
One week before the workshop, we will organize the participants into groups. Each girl in a group will have a specific part of the build to do. No one girl needs to have ALL materials on hand. We will reach out to individuals ahead of time and see who would like to be the prototype/model builder (Many to all of the items are things you have in the house or can find at a dollar store or Walmart). If you want this role, please let us know as soon as possible. Thanks.
Cost includes: A 2-hour workshop with multiple design build challenges, a materials lists scavenger hunt, additional printouts as needed, AND a Certificate of Completion & exclusive Challenge Island patch mailed directly to the Girl Scout. This does not include the badge.
