Jackie

jackie photo Hi, I'm Jackie! I'm thirteen years old and co-founder of Girl Tech, a multimedia company dedicated to encouraging girls in technology use. My mother, Janese, and I started Girl Tech four years ago after we witnessed one of the products we co-invented being marketed solely to boys.

I help the Girl Tech team invent new products and consult with our designers about the way the products look and operate. By now, I am used to public speaking on behalf of the company, and I give lots of presentations regarding Girl Tech's mission and gender equity.

I am also an enthusiastic artist and love video games. As a member of the Young Women of NASA Advisory Council I hope to share my experience with entrepreneurship and realizing your dreams. I have invented a number of toys, and you can find out how to get them at my Girl Tech site. I am also in the process of producing a new space-themed toy for girls, but I can't divulge what it is yet...

I recently watched the STS-93 launch at Kennedy Space Center, and you can read all about it in my STS-93 Launch Adventure.
