A free augmented reality (AR) app, "Reach Across the Stars: A Universe of Explorers" was created through a collaboration between the Smithsonian’s Because of Her Story Initiative and NASA. It's designed to allow users to explore the universe and unlock the often-overlooked stories of women and their contributions to space exploration and science.

The Reach Across the Stars: Meet Your Female Space & Science Heroes (virtually!) webinar was hosted by NGCP on January 27, 2021. In this webinar recording, the app's creators share their challenges and motivations along with a behind-the-scenes look at their work.
