NASA G.I.R.L.S. Mentoring Project
NASA G.I.R.L.S. Mentoring Project (Thanks Louise McMinn!)
NASA is looking for the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators. To jump start the future of potential explorers, Women@NASA has created a mentoring project that offers a one-of-a-kind experience for middle school girls. Participants will get to explore the possibilities of a career in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The project will feature one-on-one mentoring from women working at NASA. Participants will complete online lessons with their mentors while virtually connected through Skype or Google Chat.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens in grades 5-8 or home-school equivalent. The mentoring project will take place over a five-week period during the summer.
Applications will be open for submission on May 15 and are due June 15, 2012. The NASA G.I.R.L.S. website and social media accounts will be updated when application submission is opened! For more information on how to follow along on Twitter or Facebook, go to http://women.nasa.gov/get-involved.

Stamford IDEA Teachers at NSTA
Three Stamford middle school teachers (Michael Petrescu (Cloonan), Brian Butera (TOR), and Laura Dickey (Dolan)) attended the NSTA conference last week as representatives of the district's IDEA (Integrating NASA digital educational assets) grant supported by NSTA/NASA. This grant provided blended staff development opportunities for Stamford educators around issue related to Space and Atmospheric education. The teachers who attended had documented their use of the NSTA Learning center resources via an on-line portfolio tool and presented the work they did with students as a result! They did a great job telling the story of how they utilized NASA digital resources to enhance their classroom instruction.
Here they are in action at NSTA presenting to their peers from around the country!
Here I am accepting an award on behalf of Stamford for the three years of hard work that was done by Stamford educators during the grant. Dr. Albert Byers of NSTA, to my left, and Dr. Steve Marks of Oklahoma University, to my right, were the Co-Principal Investigators on the project.
