Girl Scouts STEM Academy: Houston, We Code!

It's time to build the future! Designed especially for curious and courageous Girl Scout Cadettes, this exciting program takes girls on a journey through the world of robotics and engineering. Over five action-packed sessions, you'll explore what makes a robot "think," learn to block programming, and design your own invention inspired by NASA's cutting-edge machines. From building circuits and sensors to sketching, prototyping, and iterating, you'll tackle real-world problems and bring your boldest ideas to life. You'll also experience behind-the-scenes NASA Tram Tours, visiting areas where engineers and astronauts train, and seeing robotics technology in action. Work in teams, test your creations, and prepare to showcase your robot to peers, families, and the community in a finale that celebrates creativity and engineering. By the end, you won't just know how robots work - you'll have built one that's entirely your own!
