Career Lessons from the Women of NASA
Women are transforming the future of NASA and the space program at large - the most recent astronaut class in 2017 was 45% female. So how do these pioneering women thrive in a male dominated field?
In this panel discussion, you’ll hear from women who have built careers studying everything from deep space to ocean exploration and beyond. You will also hear how they have served as leaders in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) occupations and what tools, resources and training they needed to get to this phase of their careers.
Specifically we’ll discuss:
- How these women in STEM continue to succeed and serve as role models for future generations of women.
- Advice on breaking through the glass ceiling in STEM fields in government.
- How they overcame obstacles - like how the first all-female spacewalk was cancelled because they only had spacesuits that fit men - to get where they are and the challenges they continue to face.
