Yes! Hi Karen!

Loved using the Season 4 materials with high school girls in Tucson, AZ!

Hi! It’s Theresa from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in San Francisco. So excited about the strategies.

Feel free to ask questions her in the chat and we will answer as many as we can during the Livestream - and can also send out a transcript with answers as part of the recording.

HERE in the chat

Yes, we will send the recording to all registered participants.

Yay Rita Sara and Niki!!

Yay Alicia!

yay Alicia!

Where can we get an Izzie cutout? :D

ALICIA!! This is all great information

LOVE your background Alicia!

There is an Izzie doll I've been wanting for years!

This is great growth mind-set principles

Will these slides be made available for us?

Yes, the slides and a recording will be sent to all registered participants.

And a list of questions and answers from the chat.

Thanks Karen!

The recording will also be available on the SciGirls Strategies website, where you can also find all of the other SciGirls Resources http://www.scigirlsconnect.org/scigirls-strategies-engage-girls-stem/

Slides and the presentation will be available online afterwards, http://www.scigirlsconnect.org/scigirls-strategies-engage-girls-stem/

The guide is available here: http://www.scigirlsconnect.org/scigirls-strategies-engage-girls-stem/

You are welcome to share a link to the resources on scigirlsconnect.org.

Directly applicable to what we do with our college students!!

What are the best resources you have found connecting literacy and STEM, as targeted (centric) to girls?

How does the arts aspect effectively integrate into STEM practices?

Suzi, confronting stereotypes requires guided facilitation. REsearch has shown that a discussion around the stereotypes is helpful.

Engineering and computer science disciplines are particularly working to engage more women students at the college level and have groups dedicated to that. (ACM-W,. CRA-W, NCWIT, etc.)

The stereotypes are well known in children as young as 4.

How do we build guided facilitators in all schools? Too many girls are being left behind because not a priority by administration.

We LOVE training others!!! :)

Awe, you make us blush

Niki Becker with SciGirls: nbecker@tpt.org

Yes... trainings are us! Send folks my way!!

Suzi, yes! We have a map. It is on www.scigirlsconnect.org under the about section.

This idea of being explicit is also extremely important when helping them utilize the science and engineering practices from NGSS.

the SciGirls materials are also in Spanish.

At the NSTA presentation, there was a rigorous discussion about moving away from using the term "girls". Where does that stand?

Thank you TPT and NGCP!
