Educator Training Opportunity that took place Spring 2023

  In this webinar, educators learned how to employ writing, visual art, and theater games in a virtual classroom to involve middle-school girls from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the sciences in Astronomy and Astrobiology learning and discovery.

TEACHERS: Rising Stargirls activities can be done in your classrooms to complement an existing science curriculum, or as an after-school program. And it’s free of charge (funding provided by the National Science Foundation)!
