Meet The 'Rocket Girls,' The Women Who Charted The Course To Space Before there were digital computers, there were "human computers," women who used pencils and paper to do the math that helped carry the U.S. into space. Nathalia Holt tells their story in a new book.

Our Cal State LA Swarm Robotics students are trying to raise money to travel to Kennedy Space Center to compete in the 1st Annual NASA Swarmathon competition April 19 - April 23rd. NASA covers our entry cost to the KSC but unfortunately, there is no direct funding for student travel. We estimate that the total cost of travel for our team of 20 will be between $17,000 and $18,000. That includes airfare, hotel, rental cars, and food. We would really appreciate any contributions from you! All donations are tax-deductible, as they are operated through the university.

********PLEASE MAKE SURE under the "Designation" section that you put "Other", then type in "Swarm Robotics" (otherwise your donation goes to the school, but not to our team)*********
