Lubbock: Million Girls Moonshot - SciGirls, STEM Role Models & Messaging Workshop for Educators and Advocates

Presented by Texas Partnership for Out of School Time and Texas Girls Collaborative Project as part of the Million Girls Moonshot initiative in collaboration with partners around the state.

FREE for educators and advocates and out-of-school-time professionals or administrators. Space is limited. Register today!

Agenda Includes:

  • Overview of Million Girls Moonshot resources and frameworks

  • PBS SciGirls hands-on activities, strategies to engage girls in STEM, and resources

  • Effective hands-on activity facilitation techniques and STEM messaging to engage girls in STEM

  • Strategies for effective engagement of STEM Role Models


Participants will engage in hands-on STEM learning, walk away with resources to lead TEKs-aligned hands-on STEM activities, get connected to an online educator community with 9 themed SciGirls activity facilitator guides (each with 5 or more hands-on STEM activities) and a bank of STEM role model videos and SciGirls episodes, and more! All participants will receive a goodie bag full of resources. The desired workshop outcomes are that participants immerse themselves in the content, learn new strategies to engage girls in STEM, get excited to share the resources and learnings with others, and go out and educate other educators so that the materials are disseminated widely.

Educators can earn 7 hours of CPE credits for participating in the workshop.

Please complete the questions below so we may secure your space in the workshop and deliver the most effective training possible for you. All fields are required.
