NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,960
NARRATOR: So what did you want to be when you grow up?

4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:10,960
EMMA: I do not know yet.

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,700
I was thinking packaging engineering and industrial design

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,080
but, that's where I am right now. So, undecided at the moment.

00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,740
CHRISTYL JOHNSON: So we've invited over
50 girls to come out to our center

9
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:30,700
to get an immersive and intense exposure to STEM.
I'm really interested in reaching out to

10
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,780
those girls who've pretty much given up on
their ability to be able to do STEM.

11
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:39,060
So I wasn't looking for the A and B students.
I was looking for students who maybe

12
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:44,340
struggled a little bit in the sciences and in math
and engineering, those types of concepts,

13
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:48,220
so that we could kind of show them what
STEM really is like:

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,460
The day in the life of an engineer.

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,280
ROSE: We had an
announcement come on in our school, and

16
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:03,560
we're of the few classes that actually listens to
the announcements so

17
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:07,100
yeah so it was I thought it was really
cool

18
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,980
I thought it'd be a neat opportunity.

19
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,280
MARIANA: I really liked when we
talked about the ways that

20
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,320
different NASA technologies are integrated into
real-world applications, like different ways that --

21
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,700
I didn't know that NASA could be applied to so many different things,

22
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,000
but now I know that that's actually in the world a lot.

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,000
AMY McADAM: The encouragement of young
women in STEM is important to me.

24
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:37,780
I was encouraged, you know, many steps along the way in my career,

25
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:44,540
and so any part I could play in that for other people is important to me.

26
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:49,040
ASTRONAUT JEANETTE EPPS: ... modules; we pump oxygen in ...

27
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:52,480
"So, Rose Paddock is our
mechanical engineer. Lexie ..."

28
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,580
ROSE: I thought like,

29
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:59,440
what, before when I was coming here,
I didn't really think that

30
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,600
women in STEM is such a big issue.
I knew that, yes, the movement is

31
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:11,020
happening and it's becoming more equal -- yay!

32
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:17,360
But I didn't know it was such a big thing.

33
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,100
I don't think I really understood the expanse of it.
