Project Charms Author Talk
A virtual talk designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and big thinking. During the author Q&A, students get a behind-the-scenes look at how books are crafted—from creating characters and researching topics to building story structure and surprising plot twists—helping them see how creativity, problem-solving, and imagination turn ideas into stories.
Why It Matters
Middle school is a critical moment for shaping identity and career aspirations. Too often, girls, especially those from underserved communities, lack access to engaging, hands-on STREAM opportunities. Athenian changes that by bringing enriching education, ensuring every girl has the chance to dream, build, and lead.
