Ramona’s All-Girls’ Robotics team was invited to be an exhibitor at SPACEPORT LA. Advertised as “Let’s Celebrate Women in Space,” the event was a panel presentation and project exhibition.

Lincoln of the Air Force Space Command, Virgin Galactic Founder Astronaut Loretta Whitesides, NASA Chief Medical and Safety Officer Sheyna Gifford, and Amy Shira Teitel, moderator and host of the blog Vintage Space.
