Education

The Space Foundation is building the next generation of space leaders and improving the overall quality of education through teacher, student and community programs that use space themes to improve students' interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Watch a video overview here.

The Space Foundation Discovery Institute is our education headquarters, a destination for students and a professional development center that provides space-themed training and support for teachers

We support teachers and PreK-20 students using standards-based curriculum that uses space principles to integrate science, technology, engineering and math into all content areas

We deliver programs in conjunction with educational institutions, philanthropic organizations and public media outlets that share our objective to improve the quality of education to build a capable workforce for tomorrow

Check out our space-themed resources for PreK-12 educators, ranging from weblinks to lesson plans to tangible educational materials
