Subject: Mentoring Month with Million Girls Moonshot!

Happy New Year! January is National Mentoring Month. One of the Moonshot’s four transformative practice areas is role models and mentors because of their significant role in showing young women what is possible for them in STEM. Let's celebrate mentoring month and the impact of mentors on helping bring up a new generation of diverse STEM leaders.

ENGAGING GIRLS IN HANDS ON ENGINEERING with Scientific Adventures for Girls

February 21st, 12:00-1:15 pm EST

Join Scientific Adventures for Girls (SAfG) in a three-part curriculum training series focused on their no-cost, open-sourced curriculum aimed to engage and excite more girls in engineering and design.

In this first session, participants will learn strategies to:

Build a high-quality afterschool STEM program specifically for girls in K-6th grades
Plan for inquiry and components of the engineering design process — hands-on planning, creating, testing, redesigning, and reflection
Design a youth-centered environment with a strong SEL - STEM component

Participants will leave the series with four engineering design projects and a materials list that they can implement with youth immediately. Participants will also be given access to additional engineering and design projects through SAfG. REGISTER FOR THE FIRST SESSION HERE.
