Proof that STEM can be pink!

Before Brooklynn was building robots, writing code, or dreaming up Pink Potion Society, she was a little girl who loved everything pink. She was a cheerleader who loved twirling in pretty dresses, wearing bows, and making sure everything matched. But she also loved building with LEGOs, taking things apart, and figuring out how things worked.

She just hadn’t found that one thing she truly loved doing yet.

That changed in seventh grade when Girl Scouts offered an opportunity to start an all-girls robotics team. Brooklynn immediately went home and convinced her mom to let her try. There was only one problem. Neither she nor her friends knew anything about robotics!

After countless afternoons on the garage floor, YouTube tutorials, and a few robots that absolutely refused to cooperate, something clicked.

For the first time, Brooklynn had found something she couldn’t stop thinking about. She would go to bed wondering why her code wasn’t working and wake up excited to try again. Even better, she had found friends who loved figuring things out just as much as she did.

When Brooklynn entered Hammond High Magnet School, she met the Williams family, the coaches behind the school’s robotics program. They welcomed her with open arms and encouraged her to be exactly who she was: a girl who loved all things pink and happened to love engineering just as much.

With their guidance, she grew from a beginner building robots on her garage floor into a lead programmer, drive coach, and world championship competitor. Along the way, robotics opened doors she never imagined and introduced her to people who became like family.

But Brooklynn couldn’t stop thinking about something else. What about all the girls who never get that first opportunity?

The little girl who loves princess dresses but has never tried engineering. The girl who asks a million questions but has never met someone who looks like her working in STEM. Or the girl who simply hasn’t discovered what she’s capable of yet.

Brooklynn wanted to give those girls the same chance someone had given her.

And that’s how Pink Potion Society was born!

In March 2025, Brooklynn founded Pink Potion Society with one simple message: STEM can be pink!

What started as a teenager’s idea has grown into free hands-on STEM workshops, educational resources, and two children’s books, The Pink Astronaut and A-to-Z Exploring STEM Careers. Today, Pink Potion Society has reached thousands of young learners, with books finding their way into homes and classrooms across the country and around the world.

Now a high school senior, Brooklynn is an aspiring computer engineer, national STEM award winner, Girl Scout National Delegate, and still the same girl who loves pink dresses, bows, and creating things.

And while she’s proud of how far robotics has taken her, her favorite moments are a little different these days.

It’s watching a little girl launch her first rocket, figure out a tricky experiment, or proudly announce, “I did it!”

Because not so long ago, Brooklynn was that little girl discovering something new on her garage floor.

And she hopes Pink Potion Society helps thousands of other girls find their thing, too.
