American Girl is introducing Luciana Vega, the 2018 Girl of the Year. She comes with an out-of-this-world storyline about an 11-year-old who dreams of being the first person on Mars. American Girl worked with NASA, including a task force of advisors (scientists, astronauts, and more below) who helped ensure the accuracy and authenticity of Luciana’s world—from her story and products to a STEM-based educational program in partnership with Scholastic and Space Camp.
Looking beyond her cool line of space-inspired products (like a Mars habitat and flight suit!), American Girl’s purpose behind this character is what’s most important. Luciana shows what it can mean to be a girl of strong character today, where creative thinking, collaboration, and STEM literacy provide opportunities for meaningful growth and development. Technology continues to revolutionize what we do and what we know, and Luciana is a character that can bring visibility and valuable lessons to girls at a time in their lives when they’re learning about their infinite potential to change the world.
Bringing this story to life is an all-star advisory board that includes: Dr. Ellen Stofan, former NASA Chief Scientist, Dr. Deborah Barnhart, CEO and Executive Director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Maureen O’Brien, Manager of Strategic alliances at NASA, and Dr. Megan McArthur Behnken, NASA Astronaut.
To celebrate her launch, AG is hosting Luciana debut events at its retail locations nationwide on January 1. The event features interactive science demonstrations, a Moon Phase craft, galaxy-inspired treats, and a free Luciana doll tee to take home. For more details, visit americangirl.com/retail .
I went to Space Camp as a girl and loved it. I still have my flight suit ! I’d love to pass on the dream in this way.
I would love to have this doll for my daughter she loves American girl dolls but this year she doesn’t give enough money, so. I would like to surprise her. And she loves. outer space very much.
Ahhhh I LOVE this new doll and my daughter isn’t obsesed with American Girl (what little girl isn’t?) Her birthday is Jan 12th and I know she would love to get this as a gift!
My daughter loves American Girl! We just got the newest catalog and she looks at this doll at the time!
It would be awesome to introduce my daughter to this doll. It would encourage her to learn while playing
My daughter wants to be a “mommy scientist astronaut engineer” when she grows up! She would LOVE to have a Luciana doll. In a world of all blonde haired, light skinned dolls, I love exposing my daughter to dolls that look more like her real life friends.
Her 5th birthday is February 7th!
My daughter is 10 years old, she always calls herself a Science Geek, lol… She loves to study the planet’s, our solar system intriques her. She fell in love with NASA when she was in 3rd grade on a field trip, the space center was like home to her. She has always loved American Girl and what each girl represents. She has read every book out there and when she saw the new American Girl Luciana, she flipped for joy. My daughter Brianna would love to have this doll! She would cherish her forever.
Oh my goodness. My daughter Loves All Things astronaut related. And she is so excited for this new doll. Very cool giveaway 🙂
Would love to win one for my dear Daughter!
STEM learning is so essential to girls & boys! And knowing girls have role models in male dominate careers breaks the barriers and changes the career fields for our future girl generations.
I look forward to seeing the career field limitless for our daughters.
The reality is, my daughter is not only a girl, but also a minority. I believe it is VERY important to instill in her, from a young age, that she is more than capable of achieving any goals she may set, and puts hard work into. The stars are the limit, and this doll is a PERFECT representation of that!! 🙂
My daughter saw Luciana at the American Girl store this week when we went to the event they had to debut her and immediately fell in love! She loves science and outer space so this would be the perfect doll for her. Thank you for the opportunity to win a doll, it would be the perfect surprise for getting a perfect report card!
