Other Resources for Students and Teachers

One of the goals of the"Women of NASA" project is to provide a resource for teachers and others interested in learning more about gender-bias in math, science and technology and methods of facilitating that reduce inequity in the classroom. We also offer information on grant opportunities that are available for young women and conferences for educators. This resource component has been developed to do the following:

• Provide students, teachers, and parents information about organizations working to eleminate gender inequities in education.
• Provide teachers with information that will help them learn how they can eleminate teaching practices that may keep girls from excelling in math and science.
• Make information about gender equity issues more accessible for students, teachers, and others doing research in this area.
• Give users the opportunity to submit resources that may be of interest to other students and teachers.
