There is a need to be met, especially in Prince William County, to build girls’ confidence in math and give them the tools for future success. In Prince William County, the Standard of Learning of Math passing rate for all fourth-grade students is 86%, but for Hispanic and Black girls, the passing rates drop to 81.73% and 79.33%. The passing rate further declines to 78.20% for girls that come from economically disadvantaged communities.

The heart is a fascinating organ! It fuels our lives- both physically and emotionally. The heart, in its most basic description, is an organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It is a STEM topic for sure, but science isn’t the only place where the heart gets mentioned.

Have you ever wondered what your blood does for you? Or how your body has the ability to stop a cut from bleeding?Blood is a pretty special substance in our bodies. It has many special responsibilities, the most important one being carrying oxygen to all of the cells in our body, so they can continue to do their jobs, and then carrying carbon dioxide (CO2) to the lungs so we can breathe it out

On behalf of the Pink Space Theory Team, I want to thank everyone for supporting us this year. Despite this year's challenges, our community of volunteers, corporations, and local businesses came together to help us impact the lives of others. Amy Leigh Mercree's quote, "Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today." sums up what unwavering sacrifice can do for others during challenging times.

Pink Space Theory is continuing its partnerships with local community leaders to make science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) learning opportunities accessible through engaging hands-on activities available for everyone

As the end of the year approaches, one thing we know is coming (or has already come) is lots of snow! Millions of individual snowflakes falling from the clouds, forming smooth white blankets over our cars, houses, yards, and streets. Now, we know that snow falling

Pink Space Theory is doing our part by making STEAM available for everyone. Our service project —STEAM for Everyone continues to provide access to quality STEAM activities for students attending Title 1 schools in Prince William County, Virginia.

Pink Space Theory works to spark a love for STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) in girls and minorities, and our mobile makerspace is based in the Washington D.C. area. Our most recent event saw us uniting with one of our successful Pink Space Theory volunteers – Yuktha.

The brain is a fascinating organ! It is responsible for everything- how we think, how we talk or write, all our senses. Everything you do is controlled by the amazing organ up in your noggin! But how does
