The Columbia Memorial Space Center has partnered with Ms. Daphne Bradford, a third-generation member of LA County's Hidden Figures Lee family Space & STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) legacy. The K-16 Space & STEAM education collaboration with the Columbia Memorial Space Center will ignite a community of critical and creative thinkers.
LA County's Hidden Figures matriarch, Mrs. Ethel L. Lee, affectionately known as “Space Shuttle Ethel," helped build NASA's first 6 space shuttles at Rockwell International in Downey, CA. Daphne Bradford designed and launched the first AP Computer Science Pathway in South Los Angeles.
With your generous donation you will help open doors of opportunity for a new generation of astronauts, engineers, computer scientist, food scientist, mathematicians and spacecraft builders. Students will explore NASA’s journey on how to learn, live and work on another planet as America prepares for human missions to Mars.
Thank you in advance for your support and investment in K-16 Space & STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) education. Together we will “out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world to keep our country strong.”
All donations are tax deductible.
Regards, Daphne Bradford
