Girl Scouts Heart of the South is excited to provide girls with
empowering, hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and
math) learning opportunities with the opening of two Program Centers:
The Possibility Place – Memphis and now The Possibility Place –
Jackson.
Both Possibility Places focus on key
aspects of engineering, programming, environmental science, art &
design, and culinary science through a variety of cooperative learning
opportunities and hands-on experimentation. Girls can hone key skills
such as creativity, innovation, critical thinking and problem solving,
all while having fun and gaining confidence.
These unique facilities host a variety of structured and open-format creation and design-thinking activities that encourage girls to embrace the spirit of discovery in their lives.
There are two ways to use the Possibility Place:
- Girls and volunteers can choose to rent the space and do their own programming - just pay the rental fee.
- Select from a variety of Possibility Place staff-led activities and workshops and pay the program fee. Every staff-led activity is designed to have a badge-earning component. Leaders choose the area of programming and then work with GSHS Program Staff to determine what badge/workshop will be provided. Contact the program team for more information - info@girlscoutshs.org. Areas of program follow Girl Scouts' four pillars and include, Life Skills, Makerspace(STEM), Outdoor Explore, Art Space, and Coding Corner.
