Other Outreach

In addition to helping our community through traditional volunteer service, the Space Cookies help the community by volunteering at festivals and performing robot demonstrations. The Space Cookies participate in many events hosted by NASA, the Girl Scouts and other sponsors.

GET Workshop

In 2009, the Space Cookies created the inaugural GET (Girls Engineering Tomorrow) workshop to introduce young girls to the world of science and technology. The GET event teaches fourth and fifth grade girls about 10 different engineering disciplines through hands-on activities. This event is a innovative way to encourage girls to join the technology workforce, and pursue technological careers.
