advantages and disadvantages?
3. Do you think thatwomen have achieved full equality with men in Science, Technology, Engineering
and Medicine (STEM) subjects?
4. This photo shows Johnson receiving a medal from President Obama in 2015. Why is this such an
important moment? Can you think of any similar moments?
5. Which of these Katherine Johnson quotes do you like best and why?
If you want to know, you ask a question. There's no such thing as a dumb question, it's dumb if you

Like what you do, and then you will do your best.
