Solar Week is a week-long collection of content, games, and activities centered on the latest data from and discoveries about the Sun. Targetted at middle-school girls, the key feature of Solar Week is the "Ask a Scientist" section enabling direct interaction between participating students and volunteer scientists. All of the contributing scientists are women, serving as experts in their field and providing role models to whom the students can relate. Solar Week has completed two sessions, one in October 2000 and one in April 2001, with a total of some 80 edcuators and 8,000+ students in over 25 states. A major success of the Solar Week program has been the ability of the students to learn more about the scientists as people, through online biographies, and to discuss a variety of topics ranging from science, to careers and common hobbies.
