NASA Girls Empowering Girls
Mission StatementWe are a Girls Build LA team, funded by the LA Promise Fund. We attend Palmdale Learning Plaza and provide outreach to our community in order to inspire girls to follow Science Technology Engineering and Math. We host workshops all around our city motivating girls to develop an interest in STEM. Some of our hands-on activities include “fireworks in a jar,” density of liquids, mealworm life cycle, and face painting. Throughout our project we ask participants to write notes to send to the stratosphere because we had the opportunity to send a weather balloon to the edge of space. We have experienced what it feels like to be a meteorologist, and this experience has impacted us to create a greater change. We will continue to inspire more girls to get interested in science fields as we get a step closer to closing the gender gap in STEM.
