Brunch With Santa is one of the most anticipated events on the Girls Inc. calendar—and this year, it was packed with STEM-powered joy! With their STEM Passports in hand, participants traveled through four creative, hands-on stations around the Girls Inc. Center, earning stamps and growing their skills as scientists, engineers, and tech explorers.

Those who earned at least three out of four STEM stamps were rewarded with a very special surprise—a free laptop, generously provided by Comcast—to keep learning and discovery going well beyond the holidays.

STEM station highlights included:

• Circuit LED Ornaments – Using LEDs and electrical currents to light up ornaments like Rudolph’s nose and shimmering stars
• Binary Code Candy Canes – Translating secret holiday messages into colorful binary bead patterns
• Digital Christmas Cards – Designing animated greeting cards with Canva tools
• Caesar Cipher Challenge – Cracking ancient codes like expert computer scientists

The STEM spirit didn’t end at the event! Participants took home even more fun with DIY kits like Squishy Circuits, Secret Agent Encryption Sets, Circuit Fans, and more—helping the holiday learning continue in creative, hands-on ways.

We’re so grateful to Comcast for making this experience possible, and to every family, staff member, and volunteer who helped spread the holiday magic. Brunch With Santa 2025 was a joyful, curiosity-filled celebration of what it means to be Strong, Smart, and Bold.
