Thanks to our educator Yeric Valentino, we are now happy to offer our virtual exhibit Alan Shepard: First American in Space and Shipwright in Spanish. Click here to see the English version. English version by Sarah Nappo, posted on April 9, 2020.

As part of our efforts to showcase the work of women in the STEM, we’re highlighting a number of IF/THEN Ambassadors, women who are both contributors in their fields and advocates for the role of women in STEM.

IF/THEN is an initiative of the Lyda Hill Philanthropies to support women in STEM and help girls recognize that there are many paths to and opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We hope that learning about these amazing women inspires you to think about their work, their leadership, and the ways that you, too, can blaze a trail! Click on the occupation of any woman to learn more about her work and her STEM journey.
