Forty years ago, Ride made her trailblazing flight into space. A hero to millions, Ride was a steadfast advocate for inclusion in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) – especially for girls and young women – until her death in 2012 from pancreatic cancer.

Liliana Villarreal (right), operations flow manager with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems program, speaks to a group of students on a tour to see the agency’s Artemis I Moon rocket at Launch Pad 39B during their visit to Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 23, 2022. As part of Delta Air Lines’ Women Inspiring Our Next Generation (WING) program, an all-female crew flew girls from a variety of Atlanta, Georgia area schools and organizations with a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) focus to Kennedy to learn about the various careers available at the Florida spaceport. While at Kennedy, the group also had the opportunity to hear from a panel of 18 women with a combination of careers from Kennedy and Delta and tour the visitor complex.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Middle and High school students from Florida's Putnam and Volusia counties use a bicycle wheel as a gyroscope to simulate principals of motion during a science demonstration at the NASA's Center for Space Education at the Kennedy Space Center. The 11 to 18-year-old students are part of Delta Academy and Delta GEMS, an African American women’s mentoring program affiliated with Delta Sigma Theta. The sorority uses their collective efforts to promote academic excellence, provide scholarships and support underserved students. As a part of the science program, the young scholars participated in a presentation by professional women who work at Kennedy discussing career choices and encouraging interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics STEM careers.

Girls Night In was held at Goddard on Nov 4-5, 2016. This is a pilot program which reinvigorates, inspires, and engages high school girls who may be struggling or not fully engaged in STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math) education. The program allowed NASA women to share and demonstrate the work they do, provide the girls an opportunity to completely immerse themselves in Goddard science, technology, engineering and math as well as provide them activities that will challenge and promote knowledge and discovery. Goddard invites other NASA centers tolearn from this pilot program and work towards a simultaneous multicenter event in the future. Participating schools were: DuVal, Crossland, Flowers, High Point, Northwestern and Oxon Hill
