She rewrote the rules
then went to space.
Told she wasn’t “college material” growing up, Aisha Bowe went on to study aerospace engineering, work at NASA, and build companies focused on expanding access to technology and opportunity.
Today, she is a former NASA engineer, entrepreneur, global speaker, and Blue Origin astronaut whose work spans science, education, business, and innovation. She is the founder of STEMBoard, a two-time Inc. 5000-recognized technology company, and the creator of LINGO, an edtech platform helping students around the world develop real-world STEM skills through hands-on learning.
Beyond business, Aisha’s mission is deeply personal. Through international speaking engagements, partnerships with the U.S. State Department, and STEM initiatives around the world, she works to help the next generation see themselves in spaces they may have once believed were out of reach.
In 2025, she flew to space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard as part of an all-female mission carrying with her not only research, but post cards with the hopes and dreams of students around the world.
