On Friday, Nov. 4, 2016, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, along with its partner The Maryland Space Business Roundtable, invited approximately 60 Prince George’s County high school girls, ages 16 to 17, and their chaperones to its first-ever “STEM Girls Night In” sleepover. The event aimed to reinvigorate, inspire and engage high school girls who may be struggling with, or are not fully engaged in, STEM education.
Activities included competitions and challenges, a telescope stargazing party, a scavenger hunt, speed networking, movie night and more.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

This was a floral arrangement in the making! There were so many beautiful wild flowers along the road in Tennessee. We have nothing like this in my end of the world, so to me it was fascinating.

Elementary teachers learn how they can teach concepts related to sound and waves. The K-5 STEM project is a three year project that includes 67 elementary teachers and is led by scientists, mathematicians and educators from UW Oshkosh.

Rushes are monocots that live in wetlands such as bogs and marshes, and in damp woodlands. This section shows part of a stem of a Rush (Juncus sp.). Plants that are adapted to live in water or wet conditions are known as hydrophytes.
The stem is hollow and contains star-shaped (stellate) cells in a tissue called aerenchyma. The abundant air spaces in aerenchyma allow air to reach the root systems, which are usually submerged in waterlogged soil.
The stem is photosynthetic, with palisade tissue underneath the epidermis, interspersed with groups of fibres (red). Below this cortex are the scattered vascular bundles typical of a monocot.
The diameter of the large vascular bundle is about 170 µm.

Made in Toledo, this cleverly designed stem can be flipped or rotated to provide four different bar height positions. An interesting side note of this stem is that it was standard equipment on Hearsey Special bicycles of Indianapolis. The founder of Hearsey Bicycles, H. T. Hearsey was the individual who entered Major Taylor in his first race in 1893 from Indianapolis to Matthews.
Late Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in Science, technology, engineering and math. The educational event offered young women a chance to meet working female scientists and to discover opportunities for women in STEM-related professions.
The teens kicked off the third annual STEM Girls Night In with an astronaut Q&A, talks from female scientists across disciplines and a collection of hands-on activities. The night culminated in a three-hour Mars rover competition and concluded with a late-night showing of “Hidden Figures.”

The perennating organs of the Potato (Solanum tuberosum) are underground tubers, which are swollen stems acting as food stores. Originally from the lower Andes in South America, this plant has been exploited in Europe as a food source since the 15th Century, owing to the high starch content and good keeping qualities of the tubers.
This image shows part of a plant dug up to expose underground stems with swollen tips – the immature tubers. Part of the main root system of the plant can also be seen.
The largest tuber is approximately 2 cm across.

The Future Heavy Super Sport rocket blasts off from Fort Carson Army Post, Colorado, at the annual Student Rocket Launch, sponsored by United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Ball Aerospace. ULA interns designed, built, refurbished and launched the 35-foot-tall high-power sport rocket under the guidance of mentors. The rocket carried more then 20 payloads built by interns at Ball Aerospace and kindergarten through 12th grade students from around the country. ULA and Ball interns and mentors volunteer their time to work on the program, which simulates a real-life launch campaign for the students. Photo credit: United Launch Alliance
