Impacts

The Girls in Space Project The project demonstrates significant and measurable impacts in the field of science education, highlighting its capacity for social transformation, inclusion, and the popularization of science. Throughout its editions, the program has established itself as a large-scale initiative, combining high-quality training, territorial outreach, and knowledge production.

The program demonstrates national reach and measurable impact:

  • +18,000 people impacted
  • +350 girls trained
  • +140 schools reached
  • 5 Brazilian regions represented
  • 5 GLOBE protocols applied
  • +40 educational courses and materials developed

These results demonstrate the project’s capacity to expand opportunities, reduce inequalities, and strengthen scientific pathways, especially within public school contexts.


Educational and Training Impact

The project promotes the scientific education of girls and young women through active methodologies, project-based learning, and citizen science. Participants develop technical, investigative, and socio-emotional skills, strengthening critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and female leadership in STEM fields. STEAM.


Social Impact and Inclusion

By prioritizing students from public schools, the program directly contributes to reducing inequalities in access to science and technology. The initiative expands opportunities, strengthens participants’ self-confidence, and supports the development of more equitable academic and professional pathways.


Reach and Territorial Outreach

Monitoring data demonstrate the broad scope of the project:

These figures highlight the program’s strong capacity to mobilize and disseminate scientific knowledge across different territories.


Scientific Production and Student Leadership

The project encourages knowledge production through the development of portfolios, scientific projects, and participation in academic events.

This demonstrates the consolidation of schools as active spaces for scientific investigation.


Community Impact and Multiplier Effect

The impact of Girls in Space extends beyond its direct audience, reaching school communities, teachers, families, and other students. The activities developed are shared through fairs, workshops, and events, expanding the social circulation of science and strengthening scientific literacy.


Institutional and Network Impact

The project brings together universities, public schools, government institutions, and international organizations, creating a collaborative network that strengthens science education and expands the reach of its actions.


Impact on the Popularization of Science

By transforming scientific content into accessible, participatory, and contextualized experiences, the program directly contributes to the democratization of knowledge, promoting a more inclusive, diverse, and socially relevant science.
