As Eileen Collins
becomes the First Woman Shuttle Commander on Shuttle mission STS-93,
she sets an example that can inspire today's young women to excellence.
In celebration, three young women will travel to the Kennedy Space
Center to experience the excitement surrounding a launch. During
their time there, these so-called "Student Ambassadors" will share
their experiences with an online audience, through live Internet
events, stories and photos.
This site features:
-

schools worldwide to celebrate accomplishments and discuss opportunities.
As the launch approaches additional interactive events will be
planned.
