Girls Garage

This week's wall lift! Having done this once already (re: last week's epic lift), our students breezed through this feat with collaboration unlike any other. I think we can now call ourselves experts at lifting 600lb structures 💪

Building is often an unexpected coordinated dance: "Ready? 3, 2, 1, lift! Step, step, left, left, turn, turn, slowwwwwly lower, and rest." The last couple of days has been full of clamping and carefully driving screws into redwood. One of two special exhibition caseworks is close to reaching the finish line (as is the first week of summer camp!) ☀️

“We built this together.”

When people walk into the Girls Garage space, they are greeted by our community wall: a catalog of student names, staff members, project collaborators, supporters, and more. Each name is meticulously written BY HAND, a reminder to slow down and make room for gratitude. The best part of every session is the burst of excitement as students search the wall, spot their name, and shout, “Look! That’s me, I’m up there!” Here's to building the world we want to see, together ⚒️
