What's it like t o live and work aboard the International Space Station (ISS)? What do astro nauts wear on spacewalks and how is day-to-day life different in the hazard ous environment of space?
The girls will disco ver real-world artifacts from life aboard the ISS; watch experiments that t hat demonstrate how space affects the human body; and discuss the innovatio ns that allow humans to adapt to life outside the Earth's atmosphere.
The girls will also ge
t to meet a geographer and physical science remote sensing researcher worki
ng at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory!
Girls in Technology (GIT) is led by a committee of w omen volunteers who are dedicated to initiating programs to excite, inspire and create awareness for girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mat h (STEM).
Our vision is to significantly increase the number of girls who pursue STEM education an d ultimately join the ranks of other successful women in STEM careers.
< p>Our mission is to engage an d inspire girls in grades 6 through 12 in the D.C. Metro Region, especially underserved girls, to enable them to envision a path for education and career opportunities in STEM. Ou r programs will offer successful women role models, targeted education, end earing support and affinity. We will hold ourselves accountable to focus on GIT girls-first and foster diversity and inclusion (and belonging).GIT.Connect Program - NEW!
The GIT.Connect Program supplements other GIT programming
to help expand exposure to STEM topics of interest in more depth than other
GIT programs may allow. The GIT.Connect Program focus is
on GITgirls in grades 6-12 and Alumnae. GITgirl members attend ses
sions, each lasting up to two hours. The agenda typically includes networki
ng, relevant topics and interactive exchanges between participants and pres
enters or STEM experiences.
Please feel free to contact us wi th any questions at GIT.Connect@wome nintechnology.org.
