https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31 What is the main idea? According to the article, why was Katherine Johnson a valued employee at NASA? Give 2 supporting evidence. en-us 2019-02-28 03:17:28 UTC 2025-12-19 23:39:25 UTC hello@padlet.com johgarci https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336381596 The main idea is that Katherine Johnson is an amazing woman because she has many achievements like graduating college (regular African-Americans stopped after 8th grade), joining NACA and calculated the flight path for Alan Shepard. Johnson was valued since she was really good at geometry, which was used in all the calculations. She overheard people trying to compute when a capsule should start so it could land in a certain spot, Johnson said she'd do it backwards and tell them when to launch. She was also personally asked to recheck calculations made by a computer!]]> 2019-02-28 13:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336381596 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336382031 The main idea is that Katherine Johnson is an important and brilliant African American woman. She was valued at NASA for her work as a mathematician and her work as a physicist. Both were key ingredients in her success at NASA.  As a computer, she calculated the trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space. Which is absolutely amazing for an African American woman at that time. im still alive yayayayayayay]]> 2019-02-28 13:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336382031 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383062 The main idea of the story is that,  Katherine may have been lucky, but it was her skill at geometry that allowed her to make such a great impact. Katharine Johnson was a valued employee at NASA because they were hiring African American women for the tiresome and exact work of measuring and calculating. And Katherine was great at that and could get the job done right. For example one of  the jobs she had to do at NASA was,  she calculated the flight path for Alan Shepard, the first American in space. Another job she had do at NASA was, astronaut John Glenn requested that Johnson personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight aboard Friendship 7. ]]> 2019-02-28 13:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383062 aardanie https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383345 The main idea of the article is that Katherine Johnson was a key part NASA and to African American history. And she is a valued employee because she was at math  and science  that is how she got into NASA ]]> 2019-02-28 13:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383345 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383347 The main idea of the story is that Katherine Johnson is an and very smart African American woman. She was a valued employee at NASA for her skill as a mathematician and as a physicist which are two very good ingredients for working in NASA . She also calculated the flight path for Alan Shep  as working for NACA and as she helped him he was the first American orbit .she has also graduated college which was big for an African American woman at the time while most African American students stopped after 8 grade]]> 2019-02-28 13:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383347 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383610 The main idea of the article is that Katherine Johnson was a super intelligent women. So she a valued "computer" she was so smart that when the computers did calculations they asked her to do the math and see if it was correct.  ]]> 2019-02-28 13:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336383610 jainunez https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336384764 the main idea of the text is that Katherine Johnson was a very smart African -American .She was a valued employee at NASA because in the text it says She helped the first orbit around the world and helped the fist man to walk on the moon]]> 2019-02-28 13:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336384764 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385055 The main idea is Katherine Johnson was a African American physicist and mathematician. she worked for NASA helping the first american orbit. Her family moved to west Virginia so she could get her education. In 2015 she received the government's highest honor for a civilian.  ]]> 2019-02-28 13:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385055 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385209 The main idea is that Kathrine Johnson is smart and fast in math mostly calculation. Kathrine show her good skill in math at the age 10. She end up working for the NASA for 30 years. Working as physicist . Helping American Orbit the earth. She as won the  NASA Lunar Spacecraft November 24, 2015 ]]> 2019-02-28 13:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385209 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385733 The Main idea of the Article is that Katherine Johnson was Working with NASA and that they needed her because they saw how brilliant she was. As they call her a computer, she helped the first American to walk on the moon. She was a successful, brilliant, Women! She is 100 years old Today! ]]> 2019-02-28 13:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336385733 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336386535 The main idea was to show katherines hard work an deterination. She had no idea what a mathematician was but when she started the job she loved it. She got each caulation right when helping NASA.

Katherine Johnson was a valued employee at NASA because they were hiring woman who could do the exact work of measuring and calculating the wind tunnel tests. And that was the perfect work for her. For example, in the text it said, '' Jonson may have been lucky, but it was her skill at geometry that allowed her to make a such a great impact." Another example is , "By 1953, the growing demands of early space research meant there were openings for African-American computers. That's where Katherine Johnson could put her mathematical skills to work." These are the reasons why Katherine was a valued employee at NASA.  ]]> 2019-02-28 13:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336387004 https://padlet.com/dgraham15/qjwzykyzut31/wish/336388105 The main idea is that Katherine Johnson smart African American.
