NASA’s First Women Virtual Classroom Connections for Grade Levels 5-12

Women are making history every day and now we are giving you the chance to meet them. This series of three events highlights a few of the women who have had a crucial impact on the STEM fields.

Meet Laurie A. Grindle, Deputy Center Director at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, on November 6, 2024, at 5:00 PM EST. 

Laurie A. Grindle is deputy center director at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, as of March 2023. One of her past projects was the X-43A project. She joined the project in 1997 during the buildup phase to the first flight in 2001. Laurie and her team learned much from their initial failures before the X-43A set the Guinness World Record for "the fastest air-breathing" aircraft in March 2004. It then broke its own record in November 2004 with its third and final flight. "It was incredible to be part of a team that had persevered beyond a devastating failure to go on and make history." Join us as we listen to Laurie's story and participate in a live Q&A session following her talk.

Registration Deadline: October 21, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET
