The day kicks off with two workshops, followed by a lunch and two more workshops in the af- ternoon. “The workshops are taught by a whole variety of folks who come and contribute their time for free to support girls,” says River Aaland, volunteer coordinator for Ophelia’s Place, the group organizing the event. A special appear- ance and science experiment by SLUG Queen Professor Doctor Mildred Slugwak Dresselhaus is the cherry on top of a wonderful opportunity to try something new. The Girls Rule!
