This document discusses a program that aims to get mothers and daughters interested in science, technology, engineering, and math through do-it-yourself craft projects that incorporate basic electrical circuits. It provides examples of three DYI projects - a flower with an LED light, a light-up tree, and an MP3 player. It also discusses testing the programs with mothers and kids, the positive results, and plans for expanding the program in the future.
