Making Space for Girls (MS4G) was launched in 2019 as a partnership between two nonprofits when Sharon Hagle, Founder & CEO of SpaceKids Global and Maryann Barry, CEO of Girl Scouts Citrus Council, merged their passions for inspiring girls in STEAM+ (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics + Environment) education through their shared interest in space exploration. The goals of the educational outreach activities seek to encourage all girls to consider space industry careers, to understand the fundamentals of a science experiment, and to compare and learn from the results of the control group on earth to the experimental group in space. Making Space for Girls will host annual challenge competitions and programs to continue to inspire girls in grades K – 12 from across the country to engage in space exploration and technology opportunities.
Information about program opportunities is communicated via our Making Space for Girls Facebook Group. If you’re interested in joining the group, click here.
