"Research has consistently shown that at an early age girls
are discouraged from entering scientific fields. Even girls who
do well in math and science tend not to choose such careers. However,
the support and guidance of informed and enthusiastic adult partners
in the nurturing Girl Scout environment can lay the path for girls'
successes in science.
"'Exploring the Solar System' [was] a 4-day workshop sponsored
by NASA's Office of Space Science Solar System Education and Public
Outreach Forum. The workshop [was] designed especially for Girl
Scout trainers, who will return to their councils ready to train
leaders to share fun and easy space science activities with girls."

experiences at the workshop and back at our councils.
