Themes of Project:
- Social Justice,
- Other
About this Project:
Historically, women were not allowed in the space program until the 1970s. Due to the rampant inequality in the past against women and the recent times of this, the impact of this inequality still harms women.
The Artemis missions empowers women by sending the first woman to the moon and generally highlighting women more so than in the past.
To help the missions' goal of fostering a love of STEM through inspiration from these missions, I created a website that is simple for many people to be able to read through it and understand how important and relevant all of this is.
Although education is an underrated tool for spreading awareness and preventing discrimination, it's a powerful one that I hope this website accomplishes.

Great job on the project. I really liked how you laid out your process and thinking. And I think the website is well coded and has some really interesting information there. I would think about what the intended impact of your project is. Are you trying to convince your audience that there is an issue or are you trying to get more women involved in NASA/space exploration? Once you have answered that, I would do more research into why it is an issue and ideate on what are specific methods/arguments that might help solve the problem. I think general education is a great first step but will fast short if we don't better understand the specific barriers to your intended goal. Overall great job and keep it up!

I love this! I really think this is a very educational app as well as a women empowerment advocate. I think it is very interesting and entertaining to learn about woman's history and their accomplishments and this app does all of that.
