This project is inspired by Gladys Mae West and her work toward developing GPS, Global Positioning System. She is a Mathematician known for using satellite data to map out the Earth's surface. Earlier this month, we imagined what space looks like as an astronaut. How do astronauts know where to land when they come back to Earth? How do you know where you are going when going somewhere new? GPS: Global Positioning System uses satellites to locate your position and helps maps direct you where you need to go. We owe this technology to Gladys Mae West, who is both an African American and a woman. We are still celebrating Women's History Month in March. So lets be inspired by this amazing woman as we create a GPS inspired artwork.
