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 would love to win and gift her to my niece. Thanks for the chance.
My 5 yr old is so excited about Luciana.
She loves everything about space and is so excited there is an American girl doll who does too! She would love to win and her birthday is next month so the timing is perfect!
My daughter has a doll and one outfit still (An orange astronaut flight suit that I ordered off zulilly
Two years ago). Now I have to buy more outfits for her (me lol). We did Space Camp as a family, I did Space Camp as an adult, and now I just need to talk her into going alone. As an engineer (who would have loved to have been an astronaut), I love that AG is introducing STEM to young girls.
Living in Florida, my daughter loves space and the rockets! It would be perfect for her to play astronaut with an American girl!! She would love it!!!
I love this! My girls are crazy about all things space related! I love how American Girl is helping girls know they can do anything they set their mind to. Fantastic!
My daughter loves space! She mentions it daily and wants to be an astronaut…and work on rockets like her dad!
My daughter would flip for this!!
My daughter has been asking for an American Girl Doll and this doll is perfect as my daughter is obsessed wiith Space! She says she wants to be an astronaut! This doll would really mean a lot to her.
would love my 5yo to get interested in the sciences, and how awesome we are in central FL to be so close to NASA!
My daughter is obsessed with space and would love to win this doll. For her 7th birthday this past year, she chose to spend the day at Kennedy Space Center.
