My Project

The Girls 4 Gears Club is a 'girl power' organization that will teach young girls and ladies basic automotive operations as well as basic auto care and safety as well as how a car works, and how to fix it herself for minor breakdowns and maintenance. This project is to enhance their knowledge and experience in the Science behind auto mechanics. The hope is not only to bolster the love of STEM, but also create an increased interest amongst young women in becoming auto mechanics or even create the next big automotive design! Now, although this club is geared towards girls, we do not discriminate. If there are any boys or young gentlemen who'd like to also learn about cars or who have an affinity for auto mechanics they are more than welcome to join! The extended branch of G4G is called GearHeadz Crew that is all inclusive, everyone is welcome to join!
