Girls Go Tech Destination: "The Future is Green"

DEADLINE EXTENDED!
Presented by Girl Scouts of Northern California
July 22-August 1, 2010, San Francisco Bay Area
Girls 13-18 years old

Imagine cleaner air, less polluted waters, and very little waste being put into our landfills. Choose your area of interest: astronomy, robotics or the environment and discover how you and green technology can help make these dreams a reality. Astronomy participants will learn about the night sky, technology that is used to explore the universe, and how astronomers have become instrumental in research regarding global climate change and space debris. Robotics participants will explore the importance of robots in exploration, health care, and helping to make the world "green." They will then design, build, and program their own robot to meet certain challenges. Environment participants will explore the eco-challenges and successes of the San Francisco Bay.

The Green Core Project

Sahuaro Girl Scout Council is excited to be "going green" and offering green programs for girls of all levels. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some awesome eco-programming related to sustainable Southern Arizona gardening, water shed and waste management, recycling, air quality, alternative modes of transportation, alternative energy and more! We even have programs for our littlest "green" girls called the Teeny Greenies. See our Activities listings for details on these and all our programs.

Have an idea for us in this interest area or need help getting a program started? Contact Kristen Culliney at or 520-319-3170.
