The Future of Space Flight

To celebrate Ada Lovelace and the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, the University of Liverpool’s Women in Science and Engineering (LivWiSE)  is hosting a day of interactive activities with 100’s of school children, demonstrating how computers and AI are influencing the future of space exploration, including a Question and Answer session for schools with Holly Ridings, NASA’s Chief Flight Director.

In the evening LivWiSE (Liverpool Women in Science and Engineering) is hosting a public guest lecture with Holly Ridings at the University of Liverpool.  Holly is the first female Chief Flight Director at NASA.
