For this workshop, we are celebrating three black female astronauts who have made, or will be making, history:
Mae Jemison – The first black woman to travel to space
Jeanette Epps – In 2021, Jeanette will become the first black woman to live on the International Space Station
Joan Higginbotham – Third African-American woman to travel to space
Using the print outs, turn these women into super sheroes by designing a mask for them to wear to space.
You will need:
- A print out of one of the astronauts
- Accessories sheets
- Colouring pencils, pens, crayons
- Scissors
- Glue
