• Increase awareness of how we know what we know about our universe and foster STEM identity by…
• Providing accessible exhibits, community programs, hands-on resources that feature NASA Astrophysics science and technology, and interactions with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).

Increasing the GOOD!
Girls who participate in STEM clubs and activities outside of school are more likely to say they will pursue STEM subjects later in their education.
Research suggests that math and science out-of-school activities are positively associated with youths’ interest in science and self-concept of abilities in these subject areas.
Family/parent involvement - it makes a
difference! Parents are role models and key influencers of a girl’s career pathway considerations. Involving family in STEM not only enriches a girl’s experiences, it also connects STEM to the home.

Resources: SME Involvement
Subject matter experts are embedded in everything we do.
Virtual (Zoom, Skype, Google
Hangouts)
• They work hand-in-hand with education and communications experts to design and implement activities.
• They present the latest scientific results behind our resources.
In-person (select locations)

Putting it into Action – Best Practices & Strategies
• Low Pressure: Emphasize learning something new and having fun. Support youth in trying, exploring, and making mistakes without judgement.
• Student-centered: Ask youth to make predictions, decide for themselves what the activity is about and what they would like to learn, and use activities that are open-ended in nature.
• Emphasize process (not just product): Encourage youth to make reasoned conjectures about problems, to explore varied approaches to tasks, and to explain and justify their work.
• Collaborative teamwork: Have students complete tasks in groups/teams if possible. Start with “ice breaker” activities to encourage teamwork for students who may not know one another.
• Gender-balanced: Create a gender-neutral, non-competitive environment. Use language and visuals inclusive of both males and females.
• Family/parent encouragement - it makes a difference: Include family members in STEM events. Provide resources for families to engage in STEM activities at home with their children.

Putting it into Action – Activity Tips
✓ Activities can be used by themselves or together; depending on space, time and goals.
✓ One option is to create activity stations/work areas for various activities.
✓ Have learners work in teams to select an activity of their choice, or rotate through work areas to try each one.
✓ As a follow-on, have learners generate questions as they work through the activities. Challenge them to research or locate the answers themselves.
✓ Learners can continue the fun by using computer-based activities at home or at the library.
