Moonshot Toolkit
The Million Girls Moonshot Toolkit is a collection of resources — toolkits, best practices, activities, blogs — for the out-of-school time field to utilize in their efforts to engage one million girls in quality STEM learning experiences.
This toolkit aims to raise awareness of the Million Girls Moonshot Transformative Practices, research-based practices proven to remove barriers to access and quality STEM learning experiences.
