Celebrating 100+ Episodes of ECHO Live!
We can’t believe we’ve already produced more than 100 episodes of ECHO Live! It seems like just yesterday we started our first broadcast.

The STEMinista Project
What can a girl do with STEM? She can cure a disease, build a website or discover a new planet. She can create her own video games, design a new car seat for her little brother or create a new nail polish color. She can make a new recipe for people with allergies or even help build a better airplane. Actually, a girl can do anything with STEM. Middle school girls who are curious about the world around them and how things work are invited to be a part of our STEMinista Project!
