Cal Poly AOE Girl Scout Day (DBJ)

Archive
Date: Sat Apr 12 2025, 9:00 AM PST – 12:00 PM PST

Cal Poly is a good drive away but these events are fantastic!  Well worth the drive!

Alpha Omega Epsilon invites Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast for a exciting day of hands-on experience! Anything that is created must first be designed and planned. An engineer designs and builds products, systems, or technologies. Engineers are curious about how and why things work.

In this engineering challenge, we will break you into small teams to explore how electrical engineering concepts apply to paper circuits. Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to create your own paper circuit and test it, making improvements as you go. Each team will be paired with an engineering student mentor to guide you. At the end of the day, we’ll have several challenges to test different aspects of your paper circuit, and before you leave, you’ll earn a special patch to commemorate the event!

Please bring:
A refillable water bottle with your name on it
A lunch

Fee: $ 12.00 includes a patch

Create a unique art piece while building your skills with slingshots and paintballs!

Slingshots are descendants of the trebuchet and the sling—weapons used for centuries! For Girl Scouts, they serve as a progression step for target range activities like archery by teaching girls about following range rules and commands as well as helping them to build target skills and hand-eye coordination. This will help prepare Daisies and Brownies for target sports like archery and BB shooting but can still be fun for all age groups!
