Girls Night In 2018

00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:06.660
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?

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:10.960
EMMA: I do not know yet.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.700
I was thinking packaging engineering and industrial design

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.080
but, that's where I am right now. So, undecided at the moment.

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:20.600

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.740
CHRISTYL JOHNSON: So we've invited over
50 girls to come out to our center

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

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.

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

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:44.340
struggled a little bit in the sciences and in math
and engineering, those types of concepts,

00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:48.220
so that we could kind of show them what
STEM really is like:

00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:51.460
The day in the life of an engineer.

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.280
ROSE: We had an
announcement come on in our school, and

00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:03.560
we're of the few classes that actually listens to
the announcements so

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:07.100
yeah so it was I thought it was really
cool

00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.980
I thought it'd be a neat opportunity.

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:14.280
MARIANA: I really liked when we
talked about the ways that

00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:18.320
different NASA technologies are integrated into
real-world applications, like different ways that --

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:21.700
I didn't know that NASA could be applied to so many different things,

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:25.000
but now I know that that's actually in the world a lot.

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.000
AMY McADAM: The encouragement of young
women in STEM is important to me.

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:37.780
I was encouraged, you know, many steps along the way in my career,

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:44.540
and so any part I could play in that for other people is important to me.

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:49.040
ASTRONAUT JEANETTE EPPS: ... modules; we pump oxygen in ...

00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:52.480
"So, Rose Paddock is our
mechanical engineer. Lexie ..."

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:53.580
ROSE: I thought like,

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:59.440
what, before when I was coming here,
I didn't really think that

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:05.600
women in STEM is such a big issue.
I knew that, yes, the movement is

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:11.020
happening and it's becoming more equal -- yay!

00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:17.360
But I didn't know it was such a big thing.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.100
I don't think I really understood the expanse of it.

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.200
