Ratified 100 years ago, the 19th Amendment was a significant step for women’s civil rights, but there were still many women, including women of color, who were discriminated against and denied access to the ballot. This patch program encourages girls to explore the complex and diverse history of women’s suffrage, the 19th Amendment, connection to national parks, and how important it is to continue to participate in our nation’s civic conversations. Learn more at nps.gov and GirlScouts.org.

#Repost @nasa • • • • • • 👩🏾🔬🚀🌟 Mary Jackson never accepted the status quo. Today we announced that our headquarters building in Washington, DC, will be named after engineer Mary W. Jackson, who overcame barriers to become NASA’s first Black woman engineer. Jackson started her NASA career in 1951 at what is now @NASALangley in Virginia as a human computer – a mathematician who performed hand calculations for NASA missions. After two years working in the West Area Computing unit, she received an offer to work in Langley’s Supersonic Pressure Tunnel, where she conducted extensive aeronautics research and authored or co-authored over a dozen research papers. She was promoted and, in 1958, became our first Black woman engineer. In 1979, Jackson made a final career change, leaving engineering to become the program manager for NASA Langley’s Federal Women’s Program. She would dedicate the rest of her career to the hiring and promotion of the next generation of women mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. She was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2019 and was portrayed by @JanelleMonae in the Oscar-winning film #HiddenFigures. Our Administrator @JimBridenstine noted, "We know there are many other people of color and diverse backgrounds who have contributed to our success, which is why we’re continuing the conversations started about a year ago with the agency’s Unity Campaign. NASA is dedicated to advancing diversity, and we will continue to take steps to do so.” #MaryJackson #BlackinStem #womeninSTEM #nasa

Our SWE book club discussing our latest book, Becoming. Thanks ladies for a great social distancing discussion! #swepnw #swepnwbookclub #becoming

Thank you for everything, Katherine Johnson. #Repost @nasa • • • • • • Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. We're saddened by the passing of celebrated mathematician Katherine Johnson. Her spirit and determination helped lead us into a new era in space exploration, and for that we are grateful. Once a "human computer", she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space. And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math. Her calculations proved as critical to the success of the Apollo Moon landing program and the start of the Space Shuttle program, as they did to those first steps on the country's journey into space. We celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers. What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments. #KatherineJohnson #HiddenFigures #trailblazer #rip
