NASA's girls-only science camp

'GREENCASTLE, Pa. — At the age of 12, Abigail Marconi might be too young to be a rocket scientist.

But give her a few years, and it could be her career of choice.

The seventh-grader at Greencastle-Antrim Middle School recently spent a week as a participant in NASA’s SISTER program — the Summer Institute of Science, Technology, Engineering and Research.

Held each year at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., the purpose of the five-day program is to provide opportunities for middle school girls to explore nontraditional career fields while working with research scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

Limited to 30 girls, Abigail said she applied for a spot in the program in mid-April.'
