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.

Human Body Lab: Exploring Biomedical Careers
Are you interested in applying your passion for science to improve people’s health and well-being? From participating in a live-streamed dissection to designing prototypes for biomedical challenges, we will explore the anatomy of
the human body, the cause and spread of diseases and the variety of careers in health care. You will walk away with
a better understanding of how you can help yourself and others live a healthy life.
Photography: Visual Storytelling
A single photograph can capture a precious moment in time, change a perspective or even move a nation towards
positive change. By creating your own themed digital photobook, we will explore how to capture photographs that
tell a story, while using key photography composition techniques. Develop your ability to communicate creatively
and critically as a visual storyteller, which will enhance your visuals in school projects and social media posts and
may even encourage you to start a portfolio for a career in digital media and more!
Space Science
Look up into the night sky and what do you find? If you have ever wondered what is really out there, this is the class
for you. Come build a simple rocket, explore light and spectrometry and learn about how scientists explore the
Earth, Solar System and the Universe.
Technology for Good: Artificial Intelligence to Help the World
From self-driving cars to personal computer assistants like Siri, artificial intelligence has arrived. In this course,
participants will dive deeper into the technology by exploring different online apps that implement artificial intelligence such as voice and image recognition. Participants will also be given the opportunity to learn how artificial
intelligence is created through machine learning and neural networking. With new insights gained, participants will
discuss the ethics behind artificial intelligence and how the technology could be used for good.
