The other new bill, the Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act, authorizes the National Science Foundation to “encourage its entrepreneurial programs to recruit and support women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world.” Sally Ride was the first American woman to launch into. LEGO included her in their Women of NASA set in 2017. However, Katherine Johnson hasnt always been a household name and still isnt today. Each set will include Lego versions of the women pioneers accompanied by a build that speaks to their careers. She calculated trajectories for Alan Shepard, the first man in space, and John Glenn, who asked that Johnson personally check the electronic computers results. NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, pictured at the 2017 Academy Awards, was one of the women profiled in the book and film Hidden Figures.
The bill gives NASA three months to submit a plan to Congress for how the agency can extend its outreach to K-12 female STEM students, specifically through current and retired astronauts, scientists, engineers, and innovators. Katherine Johnson began working as a 'human computer' at NACA in 1953. Tara Wike got to visit the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to present the final Minifigure designs to Maia Weinstock and Margaret Hamilton, who is one of the scientists immortalized in LEGO shape.
One, the Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Women Act, directs NASA to encourage women and girls to study in STEM fields and pursue careers in aerospace. In the original proposal, five NASA women were included but the set include just four, as Katherine Johnson chose not to be part of the set. On Tuesday, US president Donald Trump signed two bills aimed at encouraging women to build careers in STEM fields, posing with the sponsors of the bill along with his daughter Ivanka, who has been pushing for her father to support women in the workplace. Its one very tiny step for womankind: After the hit 'Hidden Figures,' which highlights a group of African-American women and their contribution to the U.S.
