Sally Ride Science

Sally Ride Science

Sally Ride Science was founded by astronaut Sally Ride, America's first woman in space, to support the large numbers of girls who are, or might become, interested in science, math and technology. The company creates innovative science experiences for girls that empower them, engage them, and encourage their interests. Current programs include national Sally Ride Science Festivals, a TOYchallenge engineering design competition, national Sally Ride Science Camps, and Sally Ride Science—After-school clubs. Current publications include a science careers book series, a space book series, a science newsletter, and other science materials.
