Taking off to Space Camp

I am a Guide Leader in Wellington and passionate about Women in Science. Girls need to have role models that are not just passionate about science but are Scientists. As a woman who has achieved the top in academic study and been a researcher, I strive to be a fantastic role model for girls, but I need a little bit of help.

In June, I will be taking four extraordinary girls to Space Camp at NASA’s Marshall Flight Centre, Huntsville, Alabama, USA. The Space Camp we are attending, is a girl only camp where girls from around the world come together and learn about the history and future of space exploration. The girls will work as a team and confront space mission scenarios that require problem solving and critical thinking skills. The girls attending Space Camp are the future engineers, pilots, and scientists of New Zealand.
