LEGO is making a ‘Women of NASA’ set!
Lego has announced a new “Women of NASA” set, to celebrate Women’s History Month!
ABC News reports on this fantastic educational set.
The idea is the brainchild of Maia Weinstock, a science writer and
editor, who submitted to Lego that the company should highlight the
efforts of a number of prominent women.
The announced set includes mathematician and NASA trajectory expert
Katherine Johnson, whom Taraji P. Henson played in “Hidden Figures.”
Also featured are Margaret Hamilton, an MIT computer scientist who
developed the flight software for the Apollo craft; Sally Ride,
the first American woman in space; astronaut and physicist Nancy Grace
Roman; and Mae Jemison, an entrepreneur, an astronaut and a doctor who
was the first African-American woman in space.
Here are pictures of the figures included in the set and their accessories.
No release date for the Lego set has been announced.
