Three years ago, when Sydne Jenkins was 13, her experience at the Girl Scouts Space Academy in Huntsville, Ala., helped fuel her interest in science. The academy “opened my eyes to the wondrous world of space,” said Jenkins, now a rising high school junior in Delaware. The experience also improved her critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving abilities, added Jenkins while speaking at a recent event on Capitol Hill.
As an organization, the Girl Scouts “has a long history of engaging girls in STEM activities and encouraging them to pursue their interest in science in and out of the classroom,” said Cole Grissom, GSUSA senior manager of digital content strategy. “As the world becomes ever more reliant on technology to power our daily lives, Americans need to harness the unique insights, skills, and potential of girls in the STEM fields.
All six badges are part of a collaboration called Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girl Scouts, which is funded by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and led by the SETI Institute, an organization in Mountain View, Calif., whose mission includes exploring, understanding, and explaining the origin and nature of life in the universe.
The Girl Scouts “empowers young women to explore, to achieve, and to understand that their potential isn’t limited by where they were born or who they are, or what their background is, but is beyond their wildest dreams, if we just give young women the tools to explore,” Horn said.
