Abstract	Many students enrolling in beauty school are surprised by the diversity of study areas covered in the cosmetology curriculum. In order to provide prospective students with a better understanding of the skills required and opportunities available with a cosmetology degree, the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) partnered with the Girl Scout Council of Central Indiana to offer a science-driven learning experience. The Technology Advancing Girl Scouts (TAGS) program was a weeklong learning experience that introduced middle-school-age girls to applied science in a number of careers ranging from robotics and aviation to cosmetology. Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive. Girl Scouts Program Director Cate Lane noted that in their evaluations, many of the Girl Scouts indicated that cosmetology was their "favorite" part of the weeklong program. (ERIC).
