Cookie Box Creations
Cookie Box Creations teams girls with women architects and engineers, in a design contest to turn empty Girl Scout cookie boxes into free-standing structures. Last year girls created structures themed around "under the sea", as part of the ongoing exhibit at the Museum of Nature and Science. This activity was great for girls interested in a career in architecture or engineering to develop critical thinking skills and promote cooperation and team-building.
