The Women of NASA resource was developed to encourage more young women to pursue careers in math, science, and technology. Throughout history, women have made valuable contributions to these fields. Although these disciplines are still dominated by men, and these women are seen as exceptions, there is a growing appreciation of cultural and gender diversity in the workplace. The Women of NASA interactive project showcases outstanding women who are enjoying successful careers and demonstrates how these women balance personal and professional responsibilities.
The main components of the project are the interactive events which include live chats, forums, and webcasts and offer participants the opportunity to dialogue with the featured mentor. You will also find the profiles and archived events a rich source of information on the NASA women and their work.
