“Consider a Career in Aerospace”

About the poster “Consider a Integrating “Consider a Career in Aerospace” Career in Aerospace” . . . Into Your Curriculum

This poster was developed as a tool to be used to encourage young women to pursue To the Educator careers in mathematics, science, , and . It also provides information and activities for educators to use with their students relating to past, present, and future As students venture into the 21st century, they must be adept at working with technology careers in aerospace. The front of the poster contains three primary elements: and communicating on-line. They should be informed about career choices and have access to people who are working in areas of interest to them. This poster is designed to The center of the poster features four members of the Young Women of NASA’s help you emphasize the importance of these skills and to provide you and your students Advisory Council (YWAC) and three Women of NASA mentors: Commander Eileen with sources of information about careers in aerospace.
