DIY GRRL founder Summer Lambert says in her experience, people raised as girls are often not taught practical skills that might get their hands dirty, so she’s looking to change that. Pairing up with businesses in her neighborhood, she’s launching an education collective that will teach automotive, maintenance and other handy skills.

Reset learns more about the group ahead of its first event on May 15.
