In anticipation of this month’s space-themed STEAM Saturday, we're excited to highlight Sabrina Thompson: a former NASA engineer, scientist, inventor, and founder of GIRL IN SPACE CLUB™. Through her work, Sabrina translates space technology, design, and systems thinking into real-world products, experiences, and culture that empower individuals, especially girls, to feel confident, represented, and ready to make their mark.

During her 16 years at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, she specialized in spacecraft trajectory design, flight dynamics, and mission planning. Thompson also holds patents in spacecraft autonomy and women’s flight suit design, advancing innovation in both aerospace engineering and inclusive design.

Through GIRL IN SPACE CLUB, she continues to push this boundary bringing fashion, culture, and engineering into the same space. Through her educational youth program, STEMulating Art®, students learn STEM concepts by designing the future: what we will wear, build, and use as humans expand beyond Earth.

We’re honored to celebrate her groundbreaking contributions and the visionary work she continues to bring to the next generation of STEAM innovators!
