Today is Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day. Paromita Mitra is the principal investigator for the Joint Augmented Reality Visual Informatics System project at NASAJohnson Space Center:

“Getting to be a part of the Artemis Generation and contributing to sending the first woman and person of color to the Moon, is so innately motivating. Working on the [spacesuit] itself is an exciting challenge. It’s very cross-disciplinary. There are biomedical problems you’re approaching, there are optical problems, there are mechanical, electrical, computer science problems. But then you introduce this exciting problem statement that is the suit into this even more exciting program initiative that is Artemis — and honestly, I couldn’t feel luckier to be a part of it.

“The ability to be a creative individual in a STEM field is so vast and STEM careers are really going to define a lot of our future. We really need diverse minds. We need a diverse population of people solving those problems, so that we can make sure that when we create engineering systems for the future of our world, we have everybody in mind. My advice to anyone looking to work for NASA or solve hard problems is to dig deeper into whatever that problem might be and find what makes you passionate. If you find yourself getting lost in it, pursue it feverishly.”
