When 10 girls from Gardiner High School in Montana received a sum of money to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.
For over a year, the girls have been using all their free time to complete the 1.
“They have this amazing internal(内心的) 2 that I've never seen in any individual,” Violet Mardiro, a teacher at Gardiner High who is 3 with the team on the project, told The Huffington Post. “I thought 4 that maybe some of them would give up, say 'I didn't 5 this much work,' but they haven't. They're just working hard and they're not giving up and they're super 6.”
Living in a low-income community, the girls have seen the 7 of homelessness first-hand. Many of them are from immigrant families and hoped the 8, which is powered by rechargeable solar panels(电子板), would help the 9.
Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia told the Huffington Post that 10 she had no previous 11 experience, the girls figured out as a team how to 12 the shelter using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important 13 she's learned during the project isn't technical.
"I've learned a lot about 14 others, working for the community and being selfless and showing a better world to other people and 15 someone else's life," she said. The project was carried out with DIY Girls, a nonprofit that helps fund STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – projects for 16.
Mardirosian said all the participating students have 17 their interest in STEM through this project.
“Many of them didn't think about engineering before. They thought maybe they're not 18 out to be an engineer. But working together, now they 19 their skill – whether a writing skill or a drawing skill or a speaking skill, they're all 20 in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture,” she said.
