Jacqueline "The STEM Queen" Means

Grateful to Senator Coons for inviting me to attend the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony 🏅 in honor of Katherine Johnson, Dr. Christine Darden, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson - or as many have come to know them as, the “Hidden Figures” of #NASA during the Space Race 🚀

Got to take 50+ girls & their moms on a trip to D.C. to encourage the girls to pursue careers in STEM! So much fun visiting The Spy Museum, The Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum - Udvar-Hazy Center, & the Washington Monument! TYSM Ashland for making this trip possible!

Had an amazing time at the Wilmington Blue Rocks #STEM night! So great sharing my experiments with everyone, & so much fun throwing the first pitch ⚾️ & meeting Rocky! TYSM to The DE STEM Council and DFSME for inviting me to be a part of this event! • #WomenInSTEM #GiveBack #DE

Honored to have shared my passion for #STEM at the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation's Girls Who Rule The World mentoring retreat! Hosted at the Harvey's Legacy Ranch in Georgia, this event brought together 120+ girls from across the country for a weekend of inspiration

Big shoutout and thank you to Harold Mendoza for this opportunity! So great seeing you and meeting your adorable girls at this wonderful event. • #AstraZeneca #AZ #STEM #TeachSTEM #WomenInSTEM #WomanInSTEM #Community #CommunityEngagement

Had a blast showcasing my experiments at AstraZeneca’s Take Your Child to Work Day! Kicked off the day on the main stage by doing an explosive experiment with the VP of Compliance, Barbara M. , & later led hundreds of AZ employees & their kids through some great experiments 🧪
