Dreaming and Standing on Their Shoulders
Dr. Christine Mann Darden, NASA (Retired)
Thursday, November 1 | 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
From cutting open a "talking doll" at age 5 to see what made her talk, to helping her dad with their car as a child, Darden tells how these experiences led to her interest in the physical sciences and ultimately to her love for plane geometry in high school. She loved how the content of the geometry class related to physical situations; and she loved how the material was presented! It was then that Darden began to think of mathematics as a college major. She goes on to tell her story. How, even though that geometry class was her highest level of high school mathematics, she was able to graduate college with a degree in Mathematics Education which ultimately led her to positions as a "Human Computer" and an "Aerospace Engineer" at NASA where she worked for 40 years, for 25 years as a researcher in Sonic Boom Minimization and finally in Senior Leadership.
Bio: Darden was recently included in the book, "Hidden Figures," by author Margot Shetterly as one who stood on the shoulders of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, and Mary Jackson, NASA "Human" Computers" who as members of the segregated West Computers contributed to the NASA Space Program in the early 1960s and who in 2016 were featured in the Twentieth Century movie of the same name. |
