At Divaneering Impact Lab we believe every girl carries a light inside of her waiting to shine bright like a diode ✨
This week at Ella Bailey our girls stepped into the world of electronics by learning how to construct basic LED, motor, and audio circuits before designing their own LED jewelry creations. Through pattern recognition, mapping, counting, focus, and object-oriented comprehension, they challenged themselves to think critically and engineer with confidence.
And the reward?
A sound.
A light.
A moving part.
Proof that their ideas work. 💡
By the end of the program, our girls weren’t just building circuits…they were building confidence, curiosity, and pride in themselves as future innovators.

Leadership is not a title, it’s a commitment to expand what’s possible.
Our Divaneering Leadership Team represents engineering, entrepreneurship, education, media, youth development, wellness, and innovation. Each of them brings a unique lens, lived experience, and professional expertise that amplifies our mission.
Because when girls see women and leaders from different backgrounds working together, building together, and believing in them, their perspective expands.
Because the more perspectives at the table, the more relatable we become 💪🏽✨
The more relatable we become,
the more girls from every zip code and every background see themselves in this work.
Grateful for a leadership team that understands the assignment 💕
