Explore the journeys of Katherine Johnson and other pioneering women at NASA.

Many girls and women dream of careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Those dreams have come true for some at NASA. Hidden Figures is a 2016 Oscar nominated movie about three African American NASA mathematicians who helped put John Glenn into space. The film focuses on Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who calculated flight trajectories for Project Mercury and all the Apollo Moon Missions.  NASA Solar System Ambassador Pat Monteith will lead you through the journeys of Katherine Johnson and some of the other pioneering women and courageous female astronauts at NASA, including women who are training to go on a 3-year mission to Mars. Monteith received a BA in Math with the hope of working in Mission Control for NASA. But, as happens with most of us, life took a different turn. Over the years her interest in Space Science never waned and after retiring from her full-time job, she became a NASA Solar System Ambassador. Over the past 6 years, Monteith has conducted more than 50 programs for youth, families and adults about the Moon, Mars, the ISS, Women of NASA, the James Webb Telescope and more.

Hosted by Tewksbury Public Library in partnership with other libraries, including Memorial Hall Library.
