Girls* on Rock is a 12-day rock climbing and backcountry wilderness expedition for high school girls* (including female-identifying and non-binary youth). Learners engage in scientific inquiry and artistic exploration while camping, hiking, and rockclimbing in the Rocky Mountains. In small groups, the participants design and carry out research projects. They then deliver their findings to a public audience. Throughout the expedition, participants engage in various art forms, exploring the various ways to tell a story. Learners demonstrate leadership skills such as communication and conflict resolution and wilderness skills such as setting up camp, navigation, and rock climbing. Evidence required to earn micro-credential includes research presentation, self-reflection, and skills checklist.
