Today, I talked to the 5th graders at High Point Elementary School about starting a nonprofit. They were very sweet and asked some really good questions! I also got cards that they made for me. Some of the kids even wanted my autograph! I loved their hugs and high fives. They were such sweet kids and I’m glad I got to help them learn about nonprofits. I hope I inspired them to help change the world by doing great things! I want to give a big thank you to Mrs. Cole for giving me such an amazing opportunity! It was such a blast! 😁🤩 — with Stephanie Morris Cole.

Thank you to Mr. Jack Wood GA Tech Research Institute Scientist, Dr. Nathan Harrison UNG Physics Professor, Dr. Amanda Moffett UNG Physics Professor and my dear friend Netanya for serving with me. So thankful to the Hall is Home for the Holidays committee for investing in a young girl’s mission and allowing me to join this event.

​We had a great time bringing science to the Refugee Youth After School Program (AFP) at Indian Creek Elementary School. We always love their inquisitive minds and caring gestures. Their loud “ooh’s and ah’s” bring big smiles to our faces every year we visit. They loved the marble run! We can’t wait to serve as a family for this group again in the new year! Thank you to our GA Tech Scientist, Mr. Jack. Your liquid nitrogen marshmallows always steal the show!😁♥️

​We loved our time serving with Pebble Tossers earlier this month. We are so thankful for the opportunities, counsel, and great support they always provide. I’m so happy I was also able to make a new amazing friend, too! @thenamegapreteen The kids at My Sisters House Atlanta Mission had a great time learning about aerodynamics, sounds waves, and optical illusion. But, I think the favorite station was the Inertia Towers. Even the moms had a great time trying the towers out! I love when people realize how fun science can be! Pebble Tossers

Foster Kids enjoy Discovery Museum

The Sierra Association of Foster Families event at the Discovery Science Museum was a GREAT SUCCESS in Reno, Nevada!! We were able to share the love of science with 100 people from SAFF! They were even able to network with a couple PhD scientists to organize two more science events teaching the foster kids robotics and chemistry! I want to thank SAFF, Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum, and Mr. Galata for this wonderful opportunity to share my love for science. This is a picture of one of the families that attended the event. Mr. Galata said they have all been adopted, are all disabled, and this was their very first time to the museum. They were the first to arrive and the last to leave!

Refugee Afterschool Science Fun

Such a wonderful event for the refugee kids today!!! 35 beautiful kids! We always fall in love with each of the kids we serve. We love to hear and witness the stories of the kids engaging and igniting sparks of interest.

One little girl was having a tough day studying English with her tutor and the tutor told Jelly that the little girl was feeling very frustrated. But, she said as soon as the little girl rotated through the science stations her demeanor changed from withdrawn to excited and she wanted to learn more and more. This has been Jelly’s drive since the start of her nonprofit, moments where we can show kids their own amazing power they have within themselves. A big thank you to Refugee Support Services, Catholic Charities, Indian Creek Elementary and our incredible volunteers! This could not have been successful without you! We treasure all of you! ♥️

​I was invited to speak at a luncheon with Mrs. Michelle Nunn as the guest speaker. She is the President and CEO of CARE USA and was the Democratic Party nominee for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat in 2014. She is also the daughter of former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn. I loved her words of inspiration. It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed meeting and networking with so many motivating women. I am very honored to have been a speaker today. Thank you Women Source for all you do and for the opportunities that you provide to empower women and girls!♥️😁

    My name is Angelica Krubeck and I am 14 years old.  I love science.  It's one of my favorite things to do.  When I was 8, one of my friends opened up to me.  She shared how she grew up in a shelter and how hard every day was.  After that conversation, I decided I wanted to help kids like her in some way.  Science I love and kids I love, so put them together and it just makes sense.  I knew that some kids out there don't get the chance to be creative with science, like how I do.  I strongly believe that no kid should be without the education and enjoyment of science!  Not only does it help them get away from their worries for a little while, but it also provides education to them.  I hope to inspire kids to do great things, to succeed in science, and to develop a love for science despite the challenges they are facing in their life.
