We’ve teamed up with Girl Scouts of the USA and SciStarter to test the NEW Citizen Science Journey for Cadettes, Seniors, Ambassadors, and multi-level troops in grades 6-12!

We are looking for troops to volunteer their time to try out the citizen science journey for Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. Multi-level troops are welcome to apply all girls in the troop are in grades 6-12. Your troop has the opportunity to impact program materials that are going to be used across the country next year!

We aim to include volunteers with a broad range of experiences (no STEM experience necessary!) and diverse make up.

Why participate?

Your girls will…      

• Be the first to use new STEM Journey material with fun and engaging activities.
• Develop communication skills through providing feedback on the new program(s).
• Help your troop earn a $100 Amazon gift card to support troop-related program expenses.
• Help develop new STEM Program, and be part of history!

What’s Involved?

Each participating troop will be required to complete the NEW 6-12 Citizen Science Journey (3 Outdoor STEM activity meetings and a Take Action project) between November 19, 2018 and February 4, 2019 and to participate in our pilot research and experience documentation.
