I was going to suggest your local Girl Scout Council, too. I'm not sure if it's a nationwide program (I'm a new GS Leader), but here in Alaska, we have a series of "Women of Science and Technology" days in Anchorage, Kenai, and the Mat-Su (coming soon to the Copper River Valley!). Another suggestion would be to look for your nearest (if you're near one) Challenger Center. Ours is on the Kenai, and they offer a lot of programs and information. Good luck! Amy. Amy K.

They're natural scientists! Girl Scouts introduces girls of every age to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities that are relevant to everyday life. Whether they're discovering how a car's engine runs, becoming math whizzes, or learning about careers in STEM fields, girls are moving forward into the future. They can host science fairs, design Web sites, plan for space exploration, visit geological sites, and more..." quote from the web site of the National Organization www.girlscouts.org your local Council would have information too, but the national office might have an exhibit you want the local council might "staff it".

Hello All! Has anyone seen or heard of any good travelling exhibitions about women and girls in science? We are looking for a small-ish exhibition, ideally in the 1000-2000 square feet range, durable yet interactive and fun, and appealing on some level for elementary through high school students. Tall order, isn't it? We are a collaborative venture between a children's library and a children's theatre - so any connection to stories, in content or means of interpretation, would be ideal. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
