At Alpha, we celebrated ‘Space Week’ with an special dress up day and assembly about the importance of exploration and inspiration. In assembly, we found out about Dr Mae Jemison, an American engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut who became the first African-American woman to travel into space on the space shuttle Endeavour in 1992 and we found out that Dr Jemison was inspired by Nichelle Nichols’ as Lieutenant Uhura in the original series of Star Trek.
