The Girl Solution: A Formula for Engaging and Sustaining Girls' Success in
Math and Science
Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh, PA
The Girls, Math & Science Partnership (GMSP) is dedicated to engaging,
educating and embracing girls as architects of change. We'll share one of
our newest tools, The Girl Solution: A Gender Equity Toolkit, for program
and professional development managers, afterschool providers and mentors.
This kit includes materials specifically designed to appeal to girls and the
distinct way they learn math and science. The Girl Solution uses a
relationship science-based methodology and features many useful tools. This
RAP will train you on the techniques provided in the toolkit and teach you
how to become a trainer for The Girl Solution in your area.
For more information about this RAP, please contact Erin Gray at

Do you have a great idea or project that you would like to share with other
ASTC members? Plan your own RAP! ASTC RAPs (Roundtables for Advancing the
Professions) provide a forum for museum professionals to network, learn
together, and expand their knowledge base. Hosted by ASTC-member
institutions worldwide, these small-group weekend intensives have covered a
wide range of topics-from camp-ins and youth programs to
information-technology trends and outdoor science parks. For more
