There's a new Frito-Lay Variety Pack for back-to-school season and this one is launching with a focus on inspiring more girls to get into STEM careers by 2025. The snack brand teamed up with sci-fi star Sonequa Martin-Green and STEM Next's Million Girls Moonshot to fuel dreams and send aspiring space explorers to Space Camp via the Back-to-School Blast Off program.
When they visit the dedicated site for this initiative, families will find STEM activities from NASA Scientists that can be experienced using everyday household items. Kids will enjoy challenging themselves as they construct a heat shield or building a moon lander. And when families share a picture of their Back-to-School Blast Off activity with #SpaceForHer and #Entry on Instagram and/or Twitter, they're entered to have a ceremonial star named after a girl.
