The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is working hard to encourage women to enter careers in mathematics, science, and engineering. This site is a wonderful resource for educators wishing to encourage their female students to challenge themselves, feel confident of their successes, and accept their failures. Highlights of the site are profiles of NASA women scientists, online chats with these scientists, and Women of the World, a quarterly activity that allows interaction between online guests and known international female scientists. To encourage diversity in science, there is also a Spanish section on site, providing educational resources and information on learning the Spanish language. Additional learning resources can be found in the Teaching Tips and Resources sections.
