These 6-Year-Old Girls Stage a Revolution in the Aisles of Toys R Us
- WomenYSK shared in Video, Stem Education and Engineering
This video is brought to us by GoldieBlox, a toy company creating engineering toys for girls founded in 2012 by Debbie Sterling, a female engineer from Stanford University.
“It’s 2013. It’s about time we opened our girls’ minds beyond the pink aisle at the toy store. It’s time to build a new story so our girls can help build our future.”

#GOOD #Video #Stem Education #Engineering #largeGOOD Video: Chronicling Coding for GOOD
- GOOD Partnerships wrote in Technology, Education and Video
Last October, GOOD and Apollo Group announced the launch of Coding for GOOD, an opportunity to gain skills in coding and, for one lucky participant, a chance to work with us here at GOOD. The program is our effort to bridge the skills gap through real-world application.
Participants had eight weeks to take sixteen free coding lessons and submit a final project using the skills they learned. The three finalists were flown to Los Angeles for a hack-a-thon at the Google offices in January that would help determine who would earn a desk here at GOOD.
Watch the video above to learn more about the three finalists and their journeys, plus watch the live announcement naming the Coding for GOOD winner.

VIDEO: You Know These Neighbors, Get To Know Yours On Neighborday
- GOOD HQ wrote in Video, Neighboring and Neighborday
Chances are you’re familiar with Urkel and Kramer…but are you familiar with your real-life neighbors? Sometimes a simple “hello” is all it takes to make a connection.
On April 27th, the GOOD community will host 1000+ neighborhood parties across the globe, as part of a new holiday called Neighborday.
So open your doors. Let’s neighbor.
It’s Not Rocket Science: Students Need Clean Drinking Water
Studies have shown more than 40 percent of children and adolescents are drinking at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day. With increasingly high rates of childhood obesity in the U.S., experts are pointing to sugary beverages as the primary driver. So, it’s no wonder the rocket scientist in the video above feels compelled to invent a portable filtration system to put in children’s lunch bags as a safe alternative to soda.
Health happens in schools through a number of ways and it doesn’t take rocket science to find simple, creative solutions to improve the health of our schools…
Together we can start with a simple task like making water more available in schools.

It’s Time to Bust the Myth That Girls Don’t Like Science
Research shows that girls are interested in STEM fields, but aren’t given information about the opportunities. If schools focus their efforts on ensuring that girls are informed about STEM opportunities, the number of women becoming computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians is sure to soar.

Let’s Make a Neighborday Documentary Together
- GOOD HQ wrote in Community, Film and Documentary
Hey GOOD Community,
We want your help documenting the awesomeness that is Neighborday. Over the next four weeks, we’ll be issuing four video challenges leading up to the big event, in an effort to chronicle all the cool ways you’re gearing up for April 27th. Then, once we’ve collected all the footage, we’ll use it for a documentary we’re releasing in May about Neighbordays across the globe that you can share with your friends and neighbors.
This one’s easy, folks. All you need to do is introduce yourself on-camera, including your name, what neighborhood and city you live in, and that you’re hosting a Neighborday. Something like this: “Hi, I’m Casey. I live in Echo Park, Los Angeles, and I’m psyched to be hosting a Neighborday this year. Also, I love chocolate.” If your name isn’t Casey and you don’t live in LA or like chocolate, then feel free to change the script accordingly!
THEN WHAT?
