Happy Women’s History Month! ClioVis intern Evelyn highlights the incredible contributions of Katherine Johnson. Johnson was one of NASA’s “hidden figures” whose calculations were critical to the Space Race, including the first crewed orbit around Earth. Explore the full timeline: bit.ly/katherinejohnsoncv.

Katherine Johnson was a NASA mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the US space program, calculating trajectories for historic missions like Apollo 11, and paving the way for future space exploration. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions and is widely regarded as an inspiration for women and minorities in STEM fields, breaking down barriers and achieving greatness in a male-dominated industry. #mywork

One of Katherine Johnson’s biggest accomplishments at NASA was helping calculate the trajectory, or path, of the country’s first human spaceflight in 1961, making sure astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr., had a safe trip. A year later she helped figure out John Glenn’s orbit of the planet, another American first. In 1969, she calculated the trajectories of Neil Armstrong’s historic mission to the moon on Apollo 11. Uno de los mayores logros de Katherine Johnson en la NASA fue ayudar a calcular la trayectoria del primer vuelo espacial tripulado del país en 1961, garantizando así un viaje seguro para el astronauta Alan B. Shepard, Jr. Un año después, ayudó a determinar la órbita del planeta de John Glenn, otra primicia estadounidense. En 1969, calculó las trayectorias de la histórica misión de Neil Armstrong a la Luna en el Apolo 11. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/katherine-johnson #HaskellRascals #RascalSteam #WomensHistoryMonth @knvos_cos @laschoolsnorth @haskellrascalpta @lausdmagnets @lausdschools @instructionla

Katherine Johnson helped send humans to space without ever leaving Earth. When early computers weren’t trusted, she calculated flight paths by hand. Before launch, John Glenn asked one thing: “Have Katherine check the numbers.” Her math brought astronauts home safely.

Celebrating Katherine Johnson – A Pioneer in Mathematics 🚀 As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, we honor women whose brilliance in mathematics changed the course of history. One extraordinary example is Katherine Johnson, a mathematician whose calculations helped send astronauts safely into space. Working at NASA, Johnson played a critical role in calculating flight trajectories for early U.S. space missions, including Apollo 11 Moon Landing. Her work ensured the safe launch and return of astronauts and helped advance America’s space exploration. Despite facing both racial and gender barriers, Johnson’s determination, intelligence, and precision made her one of the most respected mathematicians of her time. Her legacy reminds us that women in STEM continue to break boundaries and inspire future generations. ✨ Her story was also featured in the film Hidden Figures, bringing long-overdue recognition to the brilliant women behind America’s space program. CTA: Tag a woman or girl who loves math or science and encourage her to keep reaching for the stars. ⭐ 📷 Photo Credit: Images courtesy of NASA and the NASA Image and Video Library (public domain). #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM #KatherineJohnson #BlackWomenInSTEM #WomenInMathematics

We’re so grateful we had the chance to learn from Ginger Kerrick, the first Latina Director of NASA Mission Control and a 30‑year veteran of the Johnson Space Center. Her insights on Leadership Lessons from Mission Control were powerful, real, and incredibly motivating. This is a must‑watch!✨ Catch the recap for quick highlights, or dive into the full video (link in our bio) to grab your own takeaways for leading, learning, and making tough decisions in real time. 👉 Watch now and get inspired! @iastatelectures @iowastategrant @isuaere #wise #iastate #WomenInSTEM #Aersospace #NASA
