Building Girl Scout Space Science Badges, Bridges, and Teams
Abstract
Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girls is a NASA SMD funded project. The SETI Institute and Co-Is, ARIES, ASP, U of AZ, Girl Scouts of the USA, GSRI, and GS NorCal, collaborated to develop age-appropriate astronomy activities for Girl Scout badges, enhancing STEM literacy for girls. K-5th grade badges will be released in August 2018, followed by 6th-12th grade badges in 2019. This talk highlights lessons learned as the SMEs and Girl Scout partners worked together via in person road-mapping meetings, and webinars to draft and test space science badges for an out of school environment.
