 So, these are different stages of stellar evolution because we're going to be talking about stellar evolution today. So you can put in the chat if you're feeling like a red giant a sun like star or white dwarf black hole. And even though these aren't exactly scientific, you can certainly explain a little bit more about them. Yeah. All right. Let's, this is a real great someone, someone put red giant. Yes. Yes. And we had a couple of white dwarfs earlier. It's a fun way to kind of introduce a topic. And so I wanted to give you more options for our virtual settings. We talked about annotating and a astronomy picture of the day. So just a couple of different options for you. Today, we have a few things going on as our usual format, we will talk about what's happening with girls at this age, although they're growing and heading in different directions they're almost adults at this stage in high school. They can do all the things that adults can do. They still have a girlish side as well. So we're going to follow up with some presentation tools, and then discuss badge activities. So this session is the third session of three. The first one was about daisies brownies and juniors, then I'm sorry daisies and brownies, then we did juniors and cadets, and then we are now doing seniors and ambassadors. Each one. Do we want to find out who they are. Oh yes let's do that. All right let's another really great and easy way to interact with girls even if you're on a webinar is to launch a poll so we just like to kind of find out who you all are. So there should be a poll that shows up and you can let us know who you are you can check as many as you'd like I believe. Great it gives us a better idea as presenters, but what kind of information you might need. And, and let's you all know who's here. So let's see we'll just give it another second and then we'll share that be many things to many people. All right, let's go ahead and share it one second. So it looks like we have a lot of informal educators and amateur astronomers is really nice to see you all with a smattering of Girl Scout volunteer and staff so that's perfect. One other I was going to share. Let me see. Kind of a, again a little bit of the fun piece. Let's let's try one more of the oops. Let's see relaunch the poll there we go. How about this one who else are you. So one of the things that we do when we're sharing astronomy is also sharing the other parts of ourselves is really important to show girls that we are full of well rounded people I'm also a mom I'm also a potter you're also many other things so. Do you want to see that one. Oh yeah good you can who else are you. What other things are you if you don't find anything on here that fits you go ahead and throw something in the chat or you can add lots of other. Anything else go on musician excellent. And I love to read books. So I would put that in there. Yes. And I like to bake, but I wouldn't call myself a baker, but I could call myself an eater of baked goods with you on that. So you're going to put these in and then I think you do have to push enter or something like that. Oh, an archer that's exciting and a crafter wonderful. I'm an. And a napper. All right we're going to share the results we have a lot of artists and siblings. That's a really good one. And athletes and bakers and nappers I am with you on the napping so having some fun polls like this to get them thinking about how full and and also just to have a very low stakes. Where you might want to just have fun pieces of letting them share themselves. All right, so I'll stop sharing that you might have to close the poll for yourself and let you get on with it Teresa thanks. I appreciate that I think it's fun to show all of the full pictures of ourselves and share that with the people in our audience right because we are our big, our big world pictures, my and big, big people with lots of different relationships. So getting back to our content. We also have the six level of badges and I wanted to show you the badge booklets you can kind of see a little bit of the age. Like in the graphics and the names. And that's a pretty cool part of the badges. You can get these badge booklets on the Girl Scout USA site and we can put that when we post the YouTube video we'll add that. I'm just going to go ahead and add that link now just so you have it right now but it will also be on the YouTube site. Yeah and you don't need to go there now. So I'm just going to give you a whole lot of virtual tips that you can use to help out with where high school girls are at and what you can do to encourage that. If you're craving a sense of belonging and you're in a virtual room in a virtual setting rather you can use breakout rooms they can turn on their camera and unmute or use the chat, or use the polls like we just did there's lots of ways that you can have interaction and I would really encourage you to do that. I noticed that girls are really confident with technology at this age and so if they have a favorite thing that they would like to do it's, it's great to get their input on what they like to share what tools they like to use. And all of the rest of these tips are also pretty good but I'm not going to read them all to you, you can check them out later as well. I can talk a little about this one and a lot of words. I'm going to choose if you want to go into the next part of this this is all of them and you'll have access to these but since we're focusing on the seniors and ambassadors. This gives you some specifics about some of the activities like the virtual you can do the Kahoot and Netflix watch parties and jeopardy so they will have a lot of experience with these kind of things. It's great to let them lead at this point because they are old enough to know what kinds of things they'd like to do and they've had experience and can often run some of these pieces of technology so I encourage you as Teresa was saying to let them lead. Yeah, and if you're doing astronomy you can definitely have the one girl talk about what's in the sky. And also a different girl talk about what news is going on with the space research. There's so many things you can do to have them prepare even a little bit beforehand so yeah. Okay, another great tool is asking questions right. And I would love for you to not only do this in the virtual realm but in it when we get back to real person interactions that learning about where the girls are at and their experiences, making a connection and encouraging them to engage with what you're presenting. All of those are good uses for questions. Vivian would you like to tell us the story about me. Oh yeah, yeah absolutely so there there are a lot of telescope conventions that happen around the world and, and I was at one many years ago where I was in line, waiting to view the sun and I was talking to the man behind me and she was a solar physicist and we were having these great conversations she knew so much. And I was learning so much and the guy in front of me said something like the, the gentleman who was showing off the sun and the telescope was talking to the man in front of him in front of me, saying, yeah that's a prominence and you can see there's a filament across the front and the bottom left and was telling this man about what was going on. And then I got up there and he was like, okay so do you see that big ball that is, do you see the, the, the big circle that's the sun. I was like, yeah, yeah very cool. And he did the same to the woman behind me who was a solar physicist and I feel like he really missed out on a chance to learn from her about what was going on on the sun he kind of made an impression that we would have maybe not even looked through a telescope before so he was, he was explaining it very simply for me for us maybe because we were young women maybe because it just didn't have the time right we don't know. But it's really really lovely to when you're showing something through a telescope to just ask everyone have you ever looked through a telescope before because many people have not that's a completely reasonable question. If you have, they might say well I own a telescope or my mom's an astronomer. And you can give them. They can give you a better idea of what level to begin talking about these things. Yeah, so I encourage you to ask them by question asking you can learn a lot about where they are and what kind of interest they have. And if you're not using a telescope it's still okay to ask where people are out like, have you heard of. Yeah, whatever you're presenting. Supernovas, you know, because there's so many things that people know and have experienced with and we don't know and it can ask very quickly and get an answer really quickly and it helps you gauge where you're at. So something that you usually bring up Teresa which I really appreciate is that, you know, gauging your audience by their interest not by what they already know because there's could be very different access to resources maybe your mom's an astronomer and you look through telescopes all the time or maybe, you know your mom works nights and can't take you to the amateur astronomy club to go look through telescopes so you don't have access to that. So, while there may be a lot of interest, not knowing something doesn't mean that there's not interest there it just might be a difference of access. Right, right. Different people have different resources. Yeah. So then there's another thing you can do with questioning which is make a connection similar to what we were saying with who else are you, you can find out about girls by asking how long have you been a Girl Scout. Have you seen the new space movie because there's always a new space movie out. There's a lot of new Star Wars movies that are out. And a lot of times people have a favorite movie that they enjoy hidden figures or interstellar or the Martian so if you have a favorite space movie put it in the chat now. And that's just a nice way to make a connection. Holly. Yes. One of the guardians of the galaxy the Martian. Yeah, so many so many great space movies. And so it's a good way to connect with people. I want to say that pause up on the top space. Yes, space falls is a wonderful movie. So funny. When you ask a question. It's really hard for me to do it but I sometimes will just count to 10 in my head, because what happens is people have to become aware that you're asking a question and then figure out what the question is, and then figure out what their question is and then say it or write it in the chat. And it takes people even time to type so give people time to absorb what's going on, if you're wanting feedback, don't just jump from one question to the next. So that counting to 10 tip really helped me, Vivian told me that so thanks. One last thing that you can do is really connect back to the material that you're sharing. And in Girl Scouts we really want to keep things girl led. So, having them engage with what's going on is really great like, what do you like best in the sky, what do you know about Jupiter, or what's your favorite object to look at in the sky. Those questions can help you decide what you're going to show if you have a telescope and are, and sometimes those objects aren't up in the north in the night sky right then they're in the summer and we're in the winner or vice versa. So, you can even talk about that. Yeah, a lot of people know Greek mythology, you can make constellation connections. Also you can make connections with other cultures and share the stories that you know or that's them to share the stories that they know. All right. Now, a lot of people think when we're talking about questions that is just about answering questions right. So we can use connection and excuse me, we can use questions to connect, but we can also try with when we're responding to questions to build up scientific thinking. So, a lot of the times that means trying and failing and failing is called the first attempt at learning. Sometimes that's what the abbreviation is sometimes as an acronym. So, partner with the girl to answer her own question and have her think about what she knows about the object. So she might ask how many moons the Saturn has. You can say, well, what do you know about Saturn. Oh, I know that there's lots of rings. Right. And the rings are may have little tiny shepherd moons around them you could tell there, you know, just encourage them to talk about what they know. And really, if they're saying something. It's kind of like a gift to you and you don't want to jump in with saying, that's wrong or that's where did you hear that, you know, there's a lot of crazy things on the internet like flat earth and all of those different topics we get presented with a lot right so think of it as like a conversational gift, and you don't want to say, oh, this is the worst sweater I've ever seen right. Say, thanks. This is that's really interesting, right, which brings up addressing misunderstandings. You don't want to jump to what that's wrong, right, find out what's right about it. So it's not a tricky, but it helps you to gently guide someone to the right answer and also, they're not coming to us with really hard beliefs. They might be just trying to share their interest in space by talking about flat earth or astrology or whatever those topics are. And so we just want to come with them with a welcoming response. Sometimes it's in the things we're doing as well. So if a lot of you might have seen girls when they come out of from the telescope they're like blank. Or you say, Oh, what did you see, and they're like, you know, you know you can tell by their face they haven't seen anything. So then you can say, Hmm, let's see if you move your eye around a little bit, you might be able to see different things in the telescope. Right. You don't want to say you're looking in the wrong spot. I confirm that they had a good experience their eyes still work they can see things like maybe see the mirror in the back of the telescope, but they aren't seeing the stars yet. So it's really important to try to find something that's right, even if it's just that's interesting or people used to think that the sun went around the earth for a long time people thought that. I know now that the earth goes around the sun and all the planets to, would you like to see Jupiter in a telescope. And that's kind of the way I think about it is just like saying, Yes, you're reasonable to think like this, giving the correct information and then turning back towards what you're doing. Vivian you're nodding did you have an example of something you wanted to share. Yeah, somebody said astrologer, I get called astrologer a lot. And I don't know anything about reading palms or how to divine the night sky so I often say you know that's a really reasonable mistake I'm an astronomer. But you know, geology and biology are all allergies I can see why astrology would roll off the tongue but astronomy is the actual science of the night sky. And kind of go with that. So, and carry on to talk about whatever we're talking about. No, I appreciate that. I usually try to say, you know, astrologers did a great job in the olden times in ancient history they hit really good positions of the planets that tepler use to help us understand what's going on in the sky. Yeah, we're building on the shoulders of giants. Exactly, exactly. Remember that people will forget what you say. They might not know the facts that you're talking about but they will remember how you make them feel. And we want them to be more open to trying these new things, and they will when they sense that you're genuinely listening to them. One thing I also want to point out is that it's okay to say I don't know. So, because no one knows everything right you want to show them how you find out. So the whole outreach tips that you can look at on the night sky network called sharing the universe. I'm going to just show you a quick clip of this video and that's just about two minutes. So you can just think about different ways that you could say I don't know. Faster than the audience. I'll be ready. I don't need to panic. By sharing the general principles that you do know, using terms that are easy to understand, then engage a visitor in a conversation and discover what their interests are like this. How long would it take. Oh Tresi you have to unmute yourself because we just lost you. Here's just like to travel. At our neighboring galaxy. She knows a lot about the big research. I went back too far. So here's one more question that should sound familiar. We're looking at a cluster of young stars. How far away are they. I don't have a clue I couldn't possibly know that. So that's what you don't want to say far away are they. Well, since the cluster is here in our own Milky Way galaxy it's less than 100,000 light years away. Hold out your hand. Let's shrink the solar system, the sun and all the planets, so that it would fit in the palm of your hand. Our cluster would be at least a few miles away on that scale. Wow. It sure is. What else have you seen tonight. You really gave the visitor something interesting to think about. Some videos are great and I would encourage you to check them out if you're just getting started in outreach, because they have a lot of really good tips. Another thing I want to mention is that a lot of times people are worried about what if I get stuck or who might present information or be the superstar that everybody's looking at. Everyone is a beginner at first and everyone has those moments of doubt. That's messages from society saying that we're not enough but we are right. Don't listen to those messages because you belong here you belong in astronomy. I know a lot of you are already educators and doing an amazing job but I just want to talk to you about whatever stage you're at these moments of doubt can creep in. So just know you're not alone and that's, you know, but it's part of being astronomy and it's okay. You belong. And you can demonstrate learning while you're at it. Yes. Yeah. I want to tell you about sharing the science and why that's important because when people think about astronomers they often think about Galileo, probably the most well known astronomer, arguably, but he published his findings and that was a lot of the reasons why people know him, but he also published them in Italian, which was the language of the day. So most of the academic thinking was written in Latin, and only the very educated new Latin, but he wrote in Italian which was a common language and so everyone was able to read it and learn from it. It was a very egalitarian way to share his science, and we still think of him today. And we have that same opportunity to share. Excuse me just one second. A lot of times we have our jargon and our special vocabulary, but if we use the common language of the people, we're going to have a lot more connections. So let's get back to the badges. We're talking today about the oldest level of Girl Scouts, the seniors and ambassadors in high school. The seniors have this expert badge, which is all about stars, astrophotography, citizen science and really the life cycle of stars. I think that that's a really interesting topic. I could spend my whole life researching stellar evolution. Then the ambassador badge has more with telescopes, also exoplanets and careers. These are girls that are looking towards the future. They're in 11th and 12th grade and they're thinking about their careers. They also are at a stage where they want to share their knowledge and help their community. They've done astronomy, a lot of them are building telescopes or using remote telescopes. So take advantage of their knowledge and have them share some of their tips and things that they've been doing. You want to go over this overview? Sure. I just wanted to let you know it's a spectrum. There's a continuum and we build on concepts. So some of these concepts that we've explored with the younger girls in middle school, the stellar evolution piece, we get into much more detail at this point. Because the girls are old enough to really think critically and they have enough of the probably background and some chemistry and things like that that they need to think about stellar evolution in a new way. Students in science projects get more interesting, the astrophotography gets more interesting, builds on knowledge that they may or may not have had in the younger grades with the other badges. But they're definitely ready to take on some big projects and they're really fun. One that I really love is the next one, the astrophotography. Both the senior and ambassadors cover astrophotography, which is basically just nighttime photography. It can be anything from taking beautiful images of the stars as they move throughout the night, which is fairly technical, but you can also have a lot of fun with taking a nighttime picture and drawing with light. You could put your name with a flashlight. There are lots of different ways that you can do astrophotography and have fun with it. This image right here is from International Observe the Moon Night that's coming up this October 16. And they have a really great, so I should say that both the badges have instructions with great links on how to do astrophotography, but I also just found this one I wanted to mention. This is the lunar photography guide, specifically for taking great images of the moon from, you know, with your, with your smartphone or with a camera or through a telescope. So there are lots of different ways to do astrophotography and it's an awful lot of fun to practice. Yeah, doesn't actually take as much as you one might think that was all. Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of girls in high school have their own cell phones. And it's there's even docking mechanisms to put a telescope towards the eyepiece when when we're all together again. But if they have their own phone they can go out and take a picture and then share it the next time you're together, either in person or virtually. And as I was mentioning stellar evolution. There's a lot of different pieces of stellar evolution that are that's in this badge it's actually two of the five steps. So hold on. This is the senior badge that we're talking about so the younger high school girls. One in two so freshman and sophomores will do you this badge and this is to, like I said two of the five. So the first one is all about the stuff you're made of and then the second one is all about viewing the stars. So, in astronomy, when we're talking about the stuff we were made of we're talking about the stars. If you have any ideas about the elements that our bodies are made of you can add them in the chat. I know I breathe in oxygen. Oh, there's got to be some oxygen carbon says Cynthia yeah absolutely we are carbon based life forms we've heard that. And often girls will have heard something like oh we are 70% water or something along those lines. Anybody else like what's your, what are your, what are your bones or your blood made out of what kind of atoms are in there. Yeah, calcium. Yeah, a lot of you guys are already educators and know these breakdowns right, but there actually is a step where you can do an infographic about it and so I'm just going to show you this really quick this video. My name is Aaron. It's done by a girl scout. And so they have. She has lots of great information about how to do an infographic and having the girls see themselves in presentations or through working with other kid girls. It's really good for them. Okay, so here we go with numbers into a compelling visual image. It makes your data more interesting appealing and a lot easier to understand the four chemical elements that make up most of the atoms in your body are hydrogen at 62% oxygen at 24% carbon 12% nitrogen 1.1% and then you also have traces of calcium phosphorus potassium sulfur sodium and chlorine that collectively make up 0.6% and then there's a variety of trace elements, adding up to about 0.3%. So how to use this static to create an infographic of yourself. Before you begin, go and take a look at infographic examples to inspire you. Next, your audience. So who will you show yourself portrait to how will that impact the design of your infographic. How will you show your data. Will your audience respond better to exact numbers or estimations. So begin by drawing an outline of yourself or a different shape that represents you. Once you've decided on the audience calculate or estimate how much space each element will take up and then divide your shape accordingly. Then label and fill in each section using a different color or. Very, very basic. Okay, great. Yeah, there's actually a whole series of those will put those in the notes from with this video as well. I just think it's great when they can relate to a peer who's sharing their astronomy knowledge as well as the person in front of them who might not be their peer, but there's lots of those videos. Okay, can I take this one? This is one of my favorites. So this is senior step two. And it's a really great way for the girls to act like scientists, these young women. They are going to look at a lot of different objects and start to notice patterns and sort them. This is a sorting game. That it comes in the badge booklets. And you can sort based on what they are what they look like what they're made of. When we're in person we can just cut these up and, and there's a lot of background information also I should say in the badge booklet so you won't have to guess on these necessarily as a presenter. So this is one of the places to look up the information about the life cycle of stars and where it starts and where it ends. There's also if you, has anyone ever seen astronomy picture of the day we highlighted it last week I believe it shortened to APOD. And it's one of my favorite websites every day there is a new amazing astronomy picture you sometimes keep it as my background on my computer. It's one of the pictures of all of these life, all the stages in the life cycle of a star. So, when you're in person you can cut them up if you go to the next slide we've made a jam board. I should say our colleague Jessica Henryx has made a jam board that allows you to do the sorting virtually if you haven't used jam board. We'll put that link in there as well it's a very fun resource you just make a copy of this and then you can. And run with it and have the girls sorted if we're doing if you're doing things online. It's a really fun one. Or are you doing. Yeah, okay great. Yeah I just was showing that board picture and also another thing you can do in this step is sort of showing a baby book. Life of the stars where they have starting with the nebula or proto star and going all the way up to a supernova or. Yeah, there are a few different ways that you can share that yeah yeah yeah. If you're an amateur astronomer and you like to look through a telescope or even if you don't consider yourself an amateur astronomer and you like to look through the telescope. The NASA night sky network has a very cool celestial treasure hunt that goes through finding each of these types of things in the night sky there's the handout which is this that I'm showing now but there's also a whole backup packet. If you don't know the sky super well that will show you where things are. Yeah, so I apologize that link is broken today but it will be back up tomorrow. I'm having a little trouble with the website today. But we'll put it on the also on this recording. One other one that you can do this is also senior step one. Oh sorry, the last one senior step two but this is senior step one and and relates back to that we are made of stardust piece that they have maybe already explored a little bit with the infographic. And that is, yes, we are made of star stuff but so is everything that we see, well most. So there's a Girl Scout version here in the, in the back it's badge booklet thanks. It's a great activity because it's a good one to do with a group of girls, and each person gets to be a, an element or two. And then you hold up a thing such as, okay, would we have sharks and the girls look on their, on their cards and like okay a shark takes iron it takes calcium, all of these things are made in very large stars that go supernova. So after they've talked about this life cycle of stars, it takes these really big explosions to make the heavier elements that make up almost everything that is out there and you go all the way through and you get down to what is left if there were no supernova if these life cycle of stars didn't happen and it's not much I'll tell you. Yeah, so that's a fun one to do with a group of girls, especially in person I think. Cool. I want to talk about the world beyond Earth, because exoplanets and aliens are such a fun topic and so many people are really interested in them. So we could talk about the science of exoplanets with this natural interests that people have in little green people. So one of the steps is about exoplanets and worlds beyond Earth, and this is in the Ambassador badge which is the older girls badge, juniors and senior level or 11th and 12th grade, and you can use your art skills to make a brochure, or like a tourist brochure like come see this planet that's around a rogue planet that has no star and it's dark all the time on this planet or all of those interesting worlds that are out there, supposedly there's one made of diamonds. There's been such so many interesting things and they could make a brochure for that or why you would want to go there, or they can also design a habitat where they can use materials that they have or just draw it or even AutoCAD and those computer aided things. There's lots of different apps that explore worlds, one of them is Infiniscope, which I'm not going to show you now but they have this interactive called Small Worlds, and it is really fun. And the Girl Scout version has female role models that are doing research in this area, the Deborah Fisher and folks like that so really fun. And speaking of research I want to talk about some NASA science which is also a step. So I am wondering, which is your favorite NASA emblem. Some people like the worm which is the original NASA emblem from the 70s, 60s, 50s. Right and some people like the meatball which is the updated version that they've had for the last 30, 40 years as well. So it's a really personal preference that this is again a low stake thing. And you can be a lot of people aren't on team meatball. Some people are on team worm. Yep. Yeah. I just want to say thanks so much I have to run but Teresa is going to take you from here. Thank you. Thanks for joining us. So, this is a great way to just include people's preferences about NASA science. There are so many different fields. If you go to NASA dot gov slash stem which is science technology engineering and math. I'm sure a lot of you know that. There are different different activities there. Another piece you can do is the science and research that is in the NASA science mission directorates. There is, they have these four on the graphic there but heliophysics just looking at the sun earth science looking down at the earth. And planetary science which is comparing different planets and astrophysics which is looking at the stars, all of these different pieces of what NASA does can be something that the girls can really explore. And also, regardless of which one they pick. NASA is a really great site because it's very inspiring and there's a whole step on careers at NASA that they're really interested in that and when they're in their junior and senior year of high school, like thinking about what they're going to do where they're going to college. All of those pieces is really important to them at that stage so having some inspiring role models is great. There's two missions that are sort of recent Cyrus Rex is going to return in 2024. So that's a mission you can talk about for a long time, or the Mars 2020 perseverance a lot of girls saw that launch or know about it since it happened recently so there's lots of missions you can explore and that's a bad step as well. So if you can try to connect it to things that are going on in their world. So this summer there was a ridiculous heat wave going on and one of the things that NASA does is look down use their satellites to look down at Earth as well as looking up into the sky. So, this is a super quick seven second video about how hot it was and how hot it was where. So, you can see like there's in Portland and all of those areas of Seattle where it was so unusually warm. There was that heat wave going on. That's something that they can relate to because it just happened some of them might relate to it because where they're from. They definitely heard about it in the news, but also the bigger picture of climate change is something that today's youth is really concerned about. As we all should be. And so there's lots of really good climate short movies you can watch a climate that NASA dot gov. And that kind of brings us back into the research right. So the citizen science we can do the debts also have the citizen science piece in their badge. And we talked about that last week if you're interested but these are all resources for helping to conserve the night sky. But there's a whole lot more you can do with citizen science. There's lots of different projects. Like at eclipses or meteor showers or so many different pieces and I would encourage you to go to either the citizen science link with NASA or size starter dot org. They are two sites that have great citizen science projects that girls can do. Another part of this step is to about the competitions. I'm not sure how many of you know but there are NASA has contests and challenges from drawing to writing to original research. There's so many of them on the site. And so if you go to this based them that NASA dot gov, you can find this whole listing of different contests and challenges celebrations things that they can do as well. Another piece I want to mention is about this women in space science there's some beautiful posters that Chandra made the telescope, the team made these great pictures, and those are in recoloring the universe. Just a lot of really great resources I have a whole bunch of them written here and the links so we'll have to include those links on the recording on the under the YouTube recording will put the links there. So just a couple of refreshers from the different activities. We want to remember that it's okay to say I don't know and ask questions, and to bring these topics down to earth to show the girls things that are relevant to their life. These are just a whole bunch of different tips we like for scheme, we did the art, the infographics and we talked about the tourist brochure. There's lots of ways you can connect art and science together. And most importantly, keep it girl led and have fun. These are the topics that we went over at all three sessions for presentation tools and of course the badges so you're welcome to watch the other two if you weren't able to attend these the sessions all together. I'm going to tell you about the night sky network page which is specifically about Girl Scouts and the space science badges is bit.ly slash astro all again with the night sky network site being down today. I want to wait till tomorrow, but they have all kinds of activity kits and ways that you can connect with your local Girl Scout Council and how to have a star party. Just lots of really cool tips that you can find on how to match a badge to a telescope viewing object and those kind of pieces that you can use for your next event. And I really want to say thank you because we don't know how far these this will go. You just take what you learn and keep growing and sharing and noticing and as we know better we do better. You never know how far your interaction with the girls will go because sometimes all of us remember either a teacher or a planetarium trip or something that was meaningful that got us into astronomy. And so you can be that that piece. Right. So I want to encourage you to keep keep doing research and keep trying to make astronomy accessible for everyone. I'm so glad that you guys have been enjoying the series I just saw that in the chat. I'm putting in the chat also the forum for feedback. We would love it if you can fill it out it's just two questions. Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it thank you. So the recording for the second one has not been posted yet, but it will be this week we just have to. It's a busy week. So, thanks, I'm going to stop my share now but I will also want to see if there's any cues and is that you are interested in any responses to any questions you have challenges you've had when you're having a Girl Scout event, or any success stories if you want to share your success stories would be be great to hear about those as well. And seeing a lot of thank yous and great information I really appreciate that. Davis says, I'm sorry I didn't mean to say your last name that she's trying to find an astronomer that is a person of color and having a very difficult time and it's. It's true, there are not a lot of astronomers that are people of color it's both. Very sad in our field, but they are a lot of people of color who are doing astronomy they're just not as well known, often, and in addition they are getting kind of forced out of our science because of the systemic racism and issues they have to deal with on a regular basis so. I'm not sure what your question is Tammy but I wanted to, you know, say that I understand having a difficult time and if there is a topic that you're interested in, I can point you to a person. Chrissy says to find female astronomers sometimes they do a Google image search for that interest. Yes. So there's a few people you can reach out to. I'm not sure if you know fab fems it's short for fabulous feminine scientists, but they have all different stem fields there they have engineers and lots of people so you it's a database of women that you can search through for your different categories. And everybody does zoom presentations or is interested in connecting with kids and sharing their info and careers so that's a really good website to connect with someone. I know lots of people in the field so I'm going to share my email in the chat so you can send me more information about what field you're looking for. So if you have to send me there's an email and I'll be happy to share my resources that I have. Oh and Chrissy put a good link in there the 500 women scientists.org. Also there's a whole website called women at NASA. Good question, thank you. Does anyone else have another question or success story that they want to share. Okay I'm going to stop the recording now and maybe that will also involve in some folks to share their stories. For those of you watching on YouTube thank you so much for joining us.
