RAS200: embedding astronomy in society for the future
Contributed
Reaching for the Stars: Adventures in space for girls and young women, a UK-wide project bringing together in partnership Girlguiding, UK Space Agency and the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), giving girls and young women aged five to 25 in communities across the UK unique and exciting opportunities to engage with astronomy, space science and planetary science. Through our fun, adventurous and thoroughly hands-on approach, girls will be empowered to develop the skills, confidence and curiosity to explore the universe around them. Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK, with nearly a third of a million members active in every community. We offer girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference in their communities. We build girls’ confidence and raise their aspirations.
All attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees and staff, and to adhere to the NAM Code of Conduct.
