Heute ist Internationaler Tag der Frauen und Mädchen in der Wissenschaft
Unserer Favoritin: #MarieTharp (1920 - 2006).
1957 kartierte die amerikanische Geologin und Kartographin den bis dahin unbekannten Meeresboden – mit einer Präzision, die ihrer Zeit voraus war.
Erst Jahre später, mit dem Vergleich durch Satellitenaufnahmen, erkannte die Wissenschaft ihre bahnbrechende Arbeit.

Ihr Vermächtnis reicht bis zum Mond: 2015 wurde ein Mondkrater nach ihr benannt.

With NASA in the news, we want to let you know that we offer free resources to help you teach with Hidden Figures. This hit Disney movie is based on the true story of 3 Black women's amazing contributions to the space race in the 1960s: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson.

We offer a discussion guide that's easy to use in the classroom, film clubs, after school activities and more.

Our free curriculum guide has classroom-ready lesson plans in STEM, language arts, history, and film literacy.

This is a great film to teach for Black History Month & Women's History Month.

Das erinnert mich schon wieder an den Film #HiddenFigures – Unerkannte Heldinnen. Dort waren auch hochintelligente Mathematikerinnen am Werk.
