21st CCLC Summer Symposium Plenary, "Girls in STEM" featuring NASA women.

As part of the Your Place In Space initiative, the Department of Education invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its agency website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space! 

We know women and girls are finding incredible success in some STEM fields like biology and medicine, so why are they underrepresented in engineering, computer science, and other STEM fields? In this plenary you will meet amazing women working for NASA, gather recent research on supporting girls in STEM, and then learn from OST practitioners who are making great strides in engaging girls in STEM. Leave with new ideas and tools you can use to get more girls into STEM where they belong!
