The resources range from hands-on activities about space and artistic posters of historic women in STEM to NASA astrophysics exhibits and informational webinars. Please forward this message to the programs and educators in your networks. These resources are free, and there is funding available to help implement the use of these great tools. Funds are only available to programs that have not yet received funding for this project, are restricted to use for the implementation of Girls STEAM Ahead with NASA resources, and may not be used to fund overhead, salaries, capital expenditures, or other general operating expenses. Materials and supplies directly related to the project may be funded. Attached you will find a Request for Proposals, and the 2020 application can be found here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_jAVCrursV2Wb_0rESF4VOIQYg9A1_a1Vc9jMOHmuj3zatQ/viewform>.
