Spotlight on STEM
STEM Badge of the Month: Brownie - Space Science Adventurer BadgeWhether girls have searched for shooting stars or found shapes in the clouds, they've probably already spent some time looking at the sky. Now is their chance to see the sky in a new way--like a space scientist does!
1. Meet the neighbors – learn about all the planets in our solar system and how vast and extensive it really is!
2. See more than before – use tools like a space scientist to observe the world we live in!
3. Investigate the Moon – discover the phases of the moon, make a prediction, and watch it come true!
4. Be a stargazer – unleash your creativity as you reimagine constellations!
5. Celebrate and share – attend or host a star party to celebrate all your new knowledge!
“When I’ve earned this badge, I'll know how to investigate and learn about the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars.”
Upcoming STEM programs: December 8 - Coding with the Turing Tumble for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors
Flash Facts: • Girls credit their Girl Scout STEM programs with helping them step in to leadership roles more often
and state that they become better at working with others.
• A majority of girls are more confident in their science and math abilities after participating in Girl Scout STEM programs.

STEM Activity of the Month: Pumpkin Volcano!To make your mini pumpkin volcanos start by cutting out the stem area as you would to carve a Jack O’Lantern. Keep the opening on the small side as that makes the eruption more interesting. I cleaned out some of the seeds, but didn’t go crazy getting every last one! Then, Place your mini pumpkin volcanos on some sort of tray or lid to a plastic storage container. This can get a bit messy, but that’s part of the fun! If the weather is still nice, take the experiment outside! Add a few spoonfuls of baking soda to each pumpkin, then add a few drops of dish soap, and lastly add a few drops of food coloring if desired. Pour vinegar into a bowl and provide girls with eye droppers, basters, or small measuring cups! Add the vinegar to the pumpkin and watch the fun! You can repeat the process over and over with more vinegar and more baking soda. The dish soap gives the eruption a foamy appearance.
