What an amazing day! Our guest speaker, Monique Denton-Davis, founder of “Embrace Your Cake”, taught the STEM Queens self-love and appreciation. Her secret recipe to success consists of “C.A.K.E”, an acronym which stands for: C – Confidence in yourself, A- Having a positive attitude, K – Kindness towards everyone, and E – Reaching for excellence. After having a heart-to-heart with the girls, they spent the rest of the time creating vision boards. Taking cutouts from magazines, the girls pasted their dreams, aspirations, and goals onto a poster board. It was a great bonding experience when all the girls (and instructors!) shared with the camp and revealed their true passions. We had a great time with Mrs. Monique and we hope that she joins us again next year for summer camp.

As a reminder, the permissions slips for the visit to Microsoft were handed out to the students and are due by Tuesday, July 24th. During the weekends, the girls can continue practicing on the websites (CodeAcademy, CodeCombat, and CodingBat). Following this, we will have some coding challenges for them on Monday!
