Spanish Description

A Computer Called Katherine How Katherine Johnson Helped Put USA on the Moon

Katherine sabía que estaba mal que los afroamericanos no tuvieran los mismos derechos que los demás; tan mal como que 5 + 5 = 12. Sabía que estaba mal que la gente pensara que las mujeres solo podían ser maestras o enfermeras; tan mal como que 10 - 5 = 3. Y demostró que todos estaban equivocados al adelantarse a sus compañeros de clase, empezar la universidad a los quince años y finalmente unirse a la NASA, donde sus cálculos ayudaron a impulsar el primer vuelo espacial tripulado de Estados Unidos, su primera órbita terrestre tripulada y el primer viaje del mundo a la Luna. *Reseña destacada de Kirkus *Autora galardonada

About the Book

Katherine knew it was wrong that African Americans didn't have the same rights as others--as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses--as wrong as 10-5=3. And she proved everyone wrong by zooming ahead of her classmates, starting college at fifteen, and eventually joining NASA, where her calculations helped pioneer America's first manned flight into space, its first manned orbit of Earth, and the world's first trip to the moon! *Kirkus Starred Review *Award-winning author
