GSHPA Mission Moments

York-based abSketches, a visual marketing company, created a workshop aimed at getting young girls between 8 and 10 years of age interested in architecture and design. The setup was simple: they used 3ds Max to design a virtual “Girl Scout Cookie Shop.” Girls determined architectural design and branding of the shop; then watched their ideas come to reality with an actual brick and mortar image.   

What better way to say “thank you” to our heroes on the frontline than by donating cookies and other surprises! Azriel Robinson, a Juliette in Service Unit 324 in Schuylkill County, donated nearly 50 boxes of cookies to the Reading Hospital. Azriel’s goal is to continue donating cookies in hopes of lifting even more spirits.

The Program Team kicked off a new virtual program series, Putting the A in STEAM, by teaching all about the science of colors and transformational drawings.

GSHPA staff member Colleen said: “Transformational drawings involve taking two different objects and drawing what they look like as they transform from one to another. The girls then colored one object with a warm color and the other with a cool color. When the objects were “transforming,” the complementary warm/cool colors were showcased. The girls’ creativity was amazing and each of their drawings told a unique story!”
