Girls Academic Leadership Academy is the first single gender STEM school in LAUSD! Girls from many different zip codes and areas make the trip to go to GALA every day of the Mon-Fri work week. Except on breaks of course. All participants of Team BTW love GALA and it holds a special place in their hearts. GALA is a middle school and a high school. This school has many different subjects. We have all the core subjects with computer science, marine biology, and we have our very own dance company although we are a STEM school. GALA also cares about our education in the arts as well as STEM. We will be getting an arts program soon and we have as I mentioned earlier dance! We have dance as our physical education with run days and other activities. Here is a link to GALA's website with some insight from our principal Liz Hicks about why a girls STEM school. http://www.galacademy.org/

We, Team BTW, have decided to participate in the Girls Build L.A. program because of we know that statistics show women behind in the STEM workforce and we want to do something about it. We think that our project will do so too. |
