Inside the box girls will find a Girls Inc of Metro Denver 32-page magazine filled with over five hours of research-based
content, all the supplies needed to explore the magazine’s activities, a new book featuring BIPOC female characters, and
authors, and several GIRLS & SCIENCE surprise items. While the Girls thINC Outside the Box kits are most age-
appropriate for girls ages 6-10 years old, many 11-12 year olds still enjoy the boxes. Boxes cost just $35 and as with all
Girls Inc. of Metro Denver programs, the GIRLS thINC Outside the Box kit is offered on a sliding scale, and no girl will be
turned away due to an inability to pay.
