ARMI/BioFabUSA Biofabrication Patch Program

In 2019, Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains began a collaboration with a public-private Manufacturing USA initiative called the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) to increase girls’ awareness and interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for future careers.

GSGWM pioneered this collaborative and creative partnership with ARMI|BioFabUSA to:

• Increase girls’ awareness of and interest in the STEM fields, and the biofabrication industry in particular;
• Learn about the biofabrication industry, the value it brings to society, and meet professionals already working in the field; and
• Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains staff will partner with industry experts to offer biofabrication-related activities to enhance existing STEM programs, and create web-based resource videos that will help local troop leaders and other volunteers to deliver learning on such complex subjects as mechanical engineering, robotics, coding, and more.
