Innovate. They earn these three
prestigious new leadership awards as
they explore their own energy, the
energy in their places and spaces
(buildings), and the energy of getting
from here to there (transportation).
Juniors will find that GET MOVING!
is crammed full of energizing stuff to
make and do!

gold medal, aMUSE helps girls take
center stage and try out more roles
than they ever thought possible.
