Abstract
Where can a middle school girl wield a chop saw or welder in one moment, and build her interpersonal and self-advocacy skills in the next? For 20 years, Rosie’s Girls, a program of Vermont Works for Women, has helped girls and gender-nonconforming youth in grades 6–8 develop grit, create connections, and expand their sense of possibilities through hands-on exploration of the building and welding trades. The program uses multiple STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) concepts in a safe, welcoming space where campers can break down barriers, take positive risks, and try new things.
