Better Together

Your challenge is to create a tool, app, or resource that helps close a gap that causes people to experience inequality. This combination of humanity and technology should eliminate or lessen a systemic issue and educate the user so they can grow.

Summary

Astronaut Builder was created to inspire vulnerable women to dream big and be participative in society, out of invisibility.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The project aims to contribute to the diversity of people working at NASA and to bring women mainly together through educational information that will allow their journey to also reach space.

We are inserted in a reality where people lose the ability to dream.

It is one of the millennium development goals:

Promote gender equality and empower women.

More than two thirds of the countries have already achieved around 98% parity between the sexes, for children and adolescents enrolled in school education. Professionally, however, in some African countries, only one in five workers is female.

How We Developed This Project

Astronaut Builder promotes the reduction of inequality through an app that will bring educational information so that mainly black women have representation and feel inspired to dream and develop to work in scientific careers at NASA.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Through research and access to NASA's digital collections.
