SmartGirls

Before I left Seattle, waaay back when I worked in a law firm as a file clerk, a coworker who worked as the events coordinator of the non-profit SmartGirls, asked me to photograph the SmartGirls Conference, held at a local community college. SmartGirls' mission is to increase girls' and young women's interest and achievement in math, science, and technology. I volunteered to do the shoot and had a great time running around, photographing hundreds of middle school-aged girls engaging in science experiments and learning about possible career paths. I learned a few things myself that day, and got to see cool experiments. My favorite was when I watched a teacher freeze a rose in liquid nitrogen.

Here are 3 of my favorite images from that day.

Enjoy!
