Margaret and the Moon
Margaret Hamilton loved numbers as a young girl. She knew how many miles to the moon (and how many back). She loved studying algebra and geometry and calculus and using math to solve problems in the outside world. Soon math led her to MIT and helping NASA put a man on the moon! She hand wrote code that would allow the spacecraft's computer to solve any problems it might encounter. Apollo 8. Apollo 9. Apollo 10. Apollo 11. Without her code, none of these missions could have been completed. A lovely portrayal of one of the first female software engineers. To this day, Margaret Hamilton loves numbers and started her own software company. She continues to reach for the stars! There will be an extensive author's note and bibliography, as well as photos of Margaret's life and work.
