NASA REP-GIRL Kick-off!

Building on its rich ten-year history of supporting students in national robotics competitive activities and offering a variety of educational opportunities, the NASA Robotics Education Project is now launching the “GIRL Project (Girls in Robotics Learning) -- a new effort to increase nationwide participation of female students in robotics learning and competition through a process of cultural promotion and attraction.

NASA REP-GIRL will capture and promote best practices for getting and keeping girls involved in robotics learning and competition via the NASA GIRL website at http://robotics.nasa.gov/GIRL
Develop and widely disseminate compelling human interest accounts of female scientists and engineers and student success stories to build healthier cultural images and promote female role models -- Focusing on the field of robotics
Offer targeted educational and outreach efforts, including on-line interactive robotics education, information and training. Our first effort is to sponsor a “WebChat” with students around the country following the “Women Working on Mars” Webcast on Feb 24, 2005.
Build a corps of female role models to serve as mentors in robotics learning
