馃挭馃従 Youth Empowerment Through Fun Fitness!
鈻讹笍Watch highlights from today鈥檚 Inclusive HIIT class at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center!
馃槄Beyond the physical gains, movement is a powerful tool for mental health. It鈥檚 about boosting mood, reducing stress, and helping our youth feel seen, supported, and strong.
Great job to this incredible group! 馃憦馃徑

My natural impulse is to help people so I constantly feel guilty when I hear my classmates struggle with a subject I thrive in and I don't offer to help, but I've never tutored before and don't really know how to do it. I don't know how to transfer my knowledge onto somebody else.
I finished up teaching 2 week neon and STEM class at Urbanglass on Friday. The high schoolers were from all over NYC with varied backgrounds/ schooling and they all made such fun things!
Along with my two TAs (Caroline and MolMol) we taught them not only how to wire and bend neon tubes, but also how to solder (SMT and through hole) and the very basics on programming captive portal ESP32 chips for blinking neon with phones.
We played games, Including making a 30 foot mega straw for fruit punch, competing with three glass an food coloring "rollercoasters" as well as numerous "drop test" contests to test/ build bend/ weld strength.
Overall they learned about planning, pereeverance and some the hard lessons of loss that glass can teach so well when the thing you make breaks.
One student quoted Don Quixote "Without hardships there can be no Adventure!" - couldn't have said it better myself :)
