Sally's Night - Looking to the Stars with AMSE

Sally Ride lived her life with extraordinary energy, passion, curiosity and joy.  All astronauts lead exciting lives, but some are larger than life even before the reach for the stars.  Whether in the classroom or on the tennis court, in the lab or on the launch pad - it was clear from the start that Dr. Ride would reach great heights.

Each June we mark the anniversary of one exciting episode of Sally's extraordinary life - the first night she looked back at Earth from space and experienced the special exhilaration and joy that energy, focus and passion can bring to those who reach for the stars.  Early interests and clear role models can lead to excellence in any field - particularly science, technology, engineering and math, where not even the sky's the limit.

This June, in celebration of this anniversary, the AMSE Foundation is inviting everyone to visit the K-25 History Center to look up a the heavens and gaze into the stars to ignite your own curiosity.  We will bring the telescopes and offer a panel discussion related to Women in STEM, allowing guests to peer into space and discover the wonders of nature.

This event is partnered with the efforts of the National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian.
