Cane Bay Cares Supports “Girls in STEAM Saturday Camp”: Inspiring the Next Generation
This past Saturday, Cane Bay Cares proudly supported the Virgin Islands Department of Education – Division of STEAM Education’s “Girls in STEAM Saturday Camp” at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts (CMCArts). This inspiring event introduced girls aged 8-12 to the exciting fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Our support reflects Cane Bay’s commitment to fostering educational excellence and empowering future leaders.
The camp provided a dynamic, hands-on learning experience, blending art, science, and technology in a unique setting. The young participants were given a special tour of CMCArts, where they explored and critiqued the artwork on display, gaining insight into creative expression and artistic appreciation. A highlight of the day was an exclusive walkthrough of the “Waldemar Brodhurst – Wire Art/Crucian Stories” exhibit, guided by the artist himself.
This personal interaction gave the girls a deeper understanding of art as a storytelling medium and the cultural significance behind each piece.
After their artistic exploration, the girls put their STEAM skills to the test with a fun and educational science project—making their own lip balm. Experimenting with colors and scents, each participant crafted a unique creation, learning about chemistry, product formulation, and the science behind cosmetics.
At Cane Bay Cares, we are passionate about supporting initiatives that inspire young minds and provide meaningful learning experiences. Events like the Girls in STEAM Saturday Camp not only introduce students to exciting career paths but also build confidence and curiosity in STEAM fields.
We are honored to partner with the Virgin Islands Department of Education and CMCArts in making education engaging and accessible. We look forward to supporting more programs that empower, educate, and inspire the next generation!
