jsc2021e037279 (11/15/2019) --- Girl Scouts prepare experiments as part of a STEM collaboration with the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council. Faraday-Girl Scouts-1 (Faraday-Girls Scouts) offers Girl Scouts the opportunity to conduct a control experiment and observe the actual experiments on plant growth, ant colonization, and brine shrimp lifecycle in Faraday boxes aboard the International Space Station. This is part of a year-long effort by the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council to engage scouts in the study and understanding of space. The program also provides scouts firsthand experience with the concept of an experimental control. Image Credit: Girl Scouts Citrus Council

The University of New Mexico (UNM) faculty and students who administer the Swarmathon University Competition 2019 gather for a group photo on June 11, 2019 at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Melanie Moses, faculty lead for Swarmathon and a professor of computer science at UNM, is second from left. Behind her is Theresa Martinez, Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP) Science, Technology, Education and Math (STEM) engagement manager, at Kennedy Space Center. Swarmathon University Competition students and their mentors were at Kennedy to participate in a student/mentor panel, hear from speakers, get a behind-the-scenes tour of Kennedy Space Center, dine with an astronaut and receive awards. During Swarmathon University Challenge IV, students developed algorithms for robotic swarms that are robust and adaptable like the foraging strategies of ant colonies. The fourth and final Swarmathon was a combined virtual and physical competition, hosted by UNM.
