Design Connect Create

✨ Big things are happening at Design Connect Create!

Our board and leadership team recently came together for a strategic planning session focused on strengthening our vision, expanding our impact, and creating even more opportunities for the girls we serve.

Together, we:
💡 Clarified our strategic priorities
🤝 Identified new opportunities for growth
📈 Strengthened our roadmap for sustainable impact
💜 Reaffirmed our commitment to preparing girls for success in STEM and beyond

We are grateful to every board member and team member who shared their time, expertise, and passion. The future is bright, and we're excited for what's ahead!

Together, we're helping girls design their dreams, connect to opportunities, and create their future.

🧬 Pipettes, DNA, and plenty of curiosity! Our students at Balch Spring’s Young Women’s STEAM Academy got hands-on with biotechnology, learning new lab skills, extracting DNA, and discovering what a future in STEM can look like. 💙🔬

STEM + teamwork + creativity = an amazing first half of camp! 💜

This week, our RISD CTE campers built robots, explored the exciting world of drones, and learned from the Richardson Police Department during a hands-on drone demonstration. Watching these future innovators grow in confidence and curiosity has been the best part!

Here’s to an even bigger second half of camp! 🚁🤖✨

Meet this week’s incredible guest speakers! 🎤💜

Our girls had the opportunity to hear from a flight test pilot, leadership expert, business leader, and our very own founder of Design Connect Create. Their stories, advice, and experiences inspired our students to dream big and explore the endless possibilities in STEM and beyond.

Thank you to these amazing women for pouring into the next generation of leaders and innovators! ✨

These amazing women held discussions with our girls about their STEM experiences. From aerospace engineering to technology marketing, we are overjoyed that the girls got a chance to hear from such impactful role models! 💜

Camp complete! 🎉

We're so proud of all the amazing girls who joined us for an unforgettable week of STEM exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning. This camp was filled with learning, laughter, teamwork, and discovery.

We can't wait to see what these future leaders accomplish next! 👩‍🔬

💚 A Second Chance to Make an Impact 💚

The impact of our Spring Fundraising Event is already being seen in classrooms, labs, and STEM activities across our summer camps.

This week, girls across North Texas are designing, connecting, and creating through hands-on STEM experiences that build confidence, curiosity, leadership, and problem-solving skills. From engineering challenges and circuitry to teamwork and innovation, these experiences help girls see themselves as future scientists, engineers, technologists, and leaders.

While our Spring Fundraising Event has ended, a few special opportunities remain.

Several auction items are still available, providing a second chance to support the work of Design Connect Create and the hundreds of girls participating in our STEM programs this summer.

Every purchase helps provide:
💚 Hands-on STEM learning experiences
💚Mentorship from STEM professionals
💚 Career exploration opportunities
💚 Confidence-building experiences
