This week on Our Unsung STEM Heroes: Engineering

On our second installment of OUSH, we are featuring three incredible female engineers. We know a lot of you have been requesting more engineering/robotics activities and posts so be prepared for more!

1. Hattie Scott Peterson

Patterson is not only believed to be the first Black woman to earn a civil engineering degree, she was also the first woman ever to join the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Patterson worked as a cartographic engineer in California, and encouraged young women to pursue engineering as a career.

2. Anne Aaron

Anne is super cool-- like, director of video algorithms at Netflix cool. A Filipina engineer, she was named one of the U.S.' 47 most powerful female engineers by Business Insider in 2017. Aaron oversees the work that makes Netflix run smoothly for its over 80 million users!

3. Scarlin Hernandez

A Dominican engineer, 29-year-old Scarlin Hernandez is already making STEM breakthroughs as a spacecraft engineer for NASA. Hernandez studied under a full scholarship from the National Science Foundation at Capitol Technology University, and started working for NASA as an undergraduate when she was only 20 years old! Her super cool job involves coding and building spacecrafts and monitoring them in space real time.

I hope you got some inspiration from reading about these incredible women! Let us know what you would like to see next :)

Love,
