and then, like, lining up all the different parts that you can saw blade? >> and then once you build everything, and then you see it, like, right in front of your eyes, like, "wow, i built that, i actually built that," i think that's the coolest part of everything. >> we end up leaving with this, like, incredible confidence that they can kind of do anything. and i think it applies to things outside of building, also. the ability to, like, take chances and try new things, i think are incredibly important. >> they give you projects, and you're helping, like, locally, and you're, like, doing so much for the community, and you're helping with yourself by learning so many new things. and i think it's just a good feeling because a lot of the times, the things that you do on your own, they're not really helping anybody. but this one, it's just like you know you're having a positive impact, and, like, that's all of the projects that you do here at girls garage. >> we build those things for them. and so this particular project came about through a partnership with an organization called

opportunities for self sufficiency. so we've been building desks for the young people who are living in the conditional housing. >> it represents girls following their dreams. it represents, you know, people from all different backgrounds, all different places, and just supporting girls in that aspect. >> last summer, because of covid, we were forced to run one of our team programs on zoom. and so instead of canceling, we gave everything single girl a fully stocked toolbox with 20 different tools that they got to keep. and we ran our program, and the built their projects. and then after that program ended, i kept getting texts and e-mails from girls, like, "i fixed my toilet," or, "i built a bench." and they were still using these tools. and it just reminded us that we have to make sure girls are equipped as builders and creators not just while they're here, but when they're at home and in the rest of their lives. whoo! that was a lot of work, and we learned so much. >> emily does a really incredible job in the program
