STEM Adventures Await!
Get ready to spark your curiosity and ignite your imagination at the Arizona Science Center! Girl Scouts can explore the exciting worlds of Astronomy, Engineering, Chemistry, and Biology through hands-on workshops, thrilling overnight experiences, and action-packed STEM extravaganzas (day camps). Whether you're launching rockets, engineering creative solutions, experimenting like a chemist, or uncovering the mysteries of the stars, there’s always something amazing to discover. Come for a day or spend the night—either way, you’ll leave inspired and ready to change the world!

iFLY Indoor Skydiving provides a fun, interactive, and hands-on STEM learning experience for juniors and above! iFLY teaches Girl Scouts about the science and physics behind body flight, and the best part of the experience is each girl becomes part of the science experiment and gets to experience body flight in a beautiful 55ft vertical wind tunnel. The program is led and taught by a certified STEM Educator, and every girl will receive a flight training class led by a certified Flight Instructor and full gear rental before their flight experience.
The STEM program consists of a wind tunnel demonstration where iFLY’s vertical wind tunnel is used as a live lab, and the group gets to witness a variety of objects (including a liquid!) fly in the tunnel – this provides a focus on topics like gravity, velocity, force, and motion. It also includes an interactive STEM presentation with a focus on the science behind body flight and STEM careers. Lastly, every girl will also participate in a hands-on activity! The cherry on top is every girl will experience the dream of flight
The only requirement for a STEM event with iFLY is a minimum participation of 15 (girls, parents, etc.), and iFLY offers a special Girl Scout rate that is greatly discounted compared to the normal rates. This program is available M-F and Sundays. Contact Karissa Swift at 737-256-7830 and kswift@iflyworld.com.
Let's Go Compost has developed a four-week program for Girl Scouts to learn hands-on about composting through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities and community engagement to reduce their waste and help our planet!

Skype a Scientist matches scientists with classrooms/groups for informal Q&As all about science! We serve about 10,000 groups a year in this mission. Girls can ask about careers in science or can ask about what life is like as a scientist while learning about their area of expertise! We have thousands of scientists to choose from, all of whom are offering their time and expertise on a volunteer basis. If a Girl Scout Troop wants to talk about dolphins, we have a scientist for that. If they want to learn about space, we've got a scientist for that too! Any scientific topic girls can think of, we have a scientist to match their needs. Complete the form or visit skypeascientist.com.
