You’ll use tools like maps, colors, and careful observations to discover Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Pick a digital patch, a physical patch, or complete activities on your own. Patch Storefront about Girl Scout Patches 1. LiDAR Patch Using lasers to draw maps LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create detailed maps of surfaces. By calculating how long it takes for light to bounce back, scientists can determine the height and shape of objects, helping them map landscapes on Earth and even explore other planets.

Color-a-Pixel Patch Understanding satellite resolution Satellite images are built from thousands (or millions!) of tiny squares called pixels, and each one adds a small piece of information to the overall picture. The more pixels an image has, the higher its resolution — allowing scientists to see finer details and better understand Earth’s surface. Learn more about this badge 2. Color-a-Pixel Patch 3. OWWL (Ozone Where We Live) Measuring air quality Ozone Where We Live (OWWL) is a NASA project that helps scientists understand air quality in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Volunteers collect ozone and other air pollution data using simple sensors, which NASA researchers use to improve satellite measurements and air quality predictions. Learn more about this badge 3. OWWL (Ozone Where We Live) 4. NeMO-Net Classify coral reefs NeMO-Net is a single player iPad game where you help classify coral reefs by painting 2D and 3D images of coral. The data you collect in the game trains NASA’s neural network to study coral reef health around the world. Learn more about this badge 4.
