Girl Scouts prove science is not just for boys

The Girl Scouts in the US are doing their best to dispel the myth that science and technology is only of interest to boys!

Places on a new summer camp designed to get girls interested in science have been snapped up and the week-long vacation is already fully booked.

Aimed at 11-14 year olds, the camp is held in partnership with the University of Missouri-Kansas City's School of Computing and Engineering.

The girls will spend the week taking part in hands-on activities as diverse as constructing rockets to building robots.
