Girls Inc. of Tarrant County hosted a car care workshop featuring 'Grease Girl' last weekend.
It's a good idea for teenage girls to have some basic knowledge about their car and road safety, and when the lessons come courtesy of a car expert called 'Grease Girl', it's something good.
Girls Inc. of Tarrant County hosted a car care workshop last weekend featuring Kristin Cline - better known to her online fans as 'Grease Girl.' Cline took the girls through lessons about understanding basic car maintenance, checking fluid levels, and changing a flat tire. The workshop was part of Eureka! It's a free five-year STEM program from Girls Inc. designed to build girls’ confidence and equip them with the skills they need to succeed in science, technology, engineering, and math fields.Cline later posted on social media, that it's amzing how giving a girl a chance to put her hands on a tool and break a lug nut loose can demonstrate how she can do something she didn’t think she could.
It wasn’t until Kristin had worked to get her Stude on the road, then drove across the desert to attend her first car show at Viva Las Vegas that she realized “Where are all the ladies at?!” In hopes that sharing her journey would help to recruit more women and beginners to the garage, Kristin launched Grease Girl. Looking around the automotive industry now, there are so many positive things going on within it.
