NASA Girls in STEM 2021
*Advanced registration is required. Event is open to Ohio residents ONLY.
The Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) has a strong interest in strengthening relationships with organizations that support students pursuing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. Girls in STEM is designed to inspire middle school student interest in STEM fields. The event features women working in STEM fields at NASA Glenn, engaging STEM activities, and tours of NASA Glenn’s facilities.
Due to current health restrictions, Girls in STEM 2021 is planned to be a virtual event. This event will include a virtual tour of a NASA Glenn facility, an online presentation from a female engineer, and a STEM activity that participants will do live during the event. Due to software limitations, the event will be limited to the first 80 registrations received.
Join NASA astronauts on the International Space Station
Afterschool programs and all youth are invited to join us on January 7th for a virtual trip to the International Space Station to see and hear Expedition 64 astronauts Kate Rubins and Shannon Walker answer questions from afterschool youth around the country.
There are two opportunities to participate. Please register in advance using the link below.

NASA & MILLION GIRLS MOONSHOT
The STEM Next Opportunity Fund, Million Girls Moonshot and NASA are collaborating with the Afterschool Alliance to provide afterschool youth with an out-of-this-world Lights On Afterschool celebration. Students can speak live with astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli to talk about her journey to becoming an astronaut, and answer questions about the Artemis mission to land on the moon!
With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.
