This week’s podcast episode features an interview with Aisha Bowe.  

Aisha Bowe is a Bahamian-American aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of a technology company.  She grew up in the United States in a working-class family. Her father immigrated from the Bahamas and was a taxi driver in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Although her high school guidance counselor recommended that she become a cosmetologist, her father urged her to take a mathematics class at her local community college. That she excelled in math allowed her to transfer into engineering programs at the University of Michigan.  At the university, she completed her undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering in 2008, then earned a master's degree in space systems engineering in 2009. 

 

Aisha worked at the Ames Research Center, a major NASA research center in the Flight Trajectory Dynamics and Controls Branch of the Aviation Systems Division.  She joined the Flight and Fluid Mechanics department and assisted in the development of algorithms in support of Air Traffic Management.  While at NASA, she also served as liaison to the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program, mentored students, held interview workshops and led NASA site tours.

 

Currently, Aisha is founder and CEO of STEMBoard, a company that solves technology challenges for government and private-sector clients.  She is also the creator of the LINGO coding kit which teaches hardware and software design.

 

Aisha’s accolades are numerous and include:

Entrepreneur of the Year by the Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) of Washington, D.C.
