Girls Garage is located in Berkeley, CA and we got to speak with founder Emily Pilloton about the inspiration behind the nonprofit design and building program (and dedicated workspace!) for girls and female-identifying youth ages 9-18. Watch the full interview here or below.

From immediate PPE production to a total reconfiguration of the way they conduct classes, Girls Garage didn’t hesitate to “fearless and build more” when 2020 took a turn for the worse.

Get a hands-on introduction to Girls Garage with two MCD@Home projects, Mechanical Thinking Collection and Plan, Section, Elevation developed by Emily. Dive in deeper and out the Girls Garage newest book:  Girls Garage: How to Use Any Tool, Tackle Any Project, and Build the World You Want to See.
