From NYU to NASA: Women in STEM
Have you ever heard of Space Barbie? She flew from NYU to NASA
Tanya Gupta graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
NYU Women in STEM alumnae: they’re out of this world. In Tanya Gupta’s case, quite literally. In childhood Tanya began a lifelong obsession with space, taking inspiration from Barbie and the Rockers — Barbie’s band that gave concerts in outer space, of course. This obsession culminated in her attending NYU and obtaining a coveted internship at NASAs Armstrong Flight Research Center. Thus, Space Barbie was born.
