Girls Craft Beauty Science: Lip Scrubs Unlock STEM
6 Mar
Summary
- Girls create personalized lip scrubs, learning about skin biology.
- The event aims to boost teenage girls' confidence in STEM.
- Activities are geared towards girls aged 13 and older.
CBS Colorado is celebrating Girls & Science throughout March, aiming to counteract declining confidence in STEM among teenage girls. The Girls & Science Kickoff Event at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science now includes a Teen Zone with activities tailored for girls aged 13 and older.
Girls Inc. of Metro Denver is leading a popular workshop where girls learn the science of self-care by making their own lip scrubs. Participants first name and label their creations before delving into the biology of skin. They explore how skin layers function and how beauty products can enhance skin health.
Using simple ingredients like coconut oil and sugar, the girls customize their lip scrubs with desired colors and flavors. This process encourages them to think like product creators. They also learn to adjust ingredient ratios for hydration or exfoliation, a practical skill in Colorado's dry climate.
The event, scheduled for Friday, March 6, 2026, seeks to inspire young women, potentially sparking future interest in careers as product creators or entrepreneurs. Registration for the free event is encouraged.
