The Space Foundation's mission is "To advance space-related endeavors to inspire, enable and propel humanity." Educational outreach is one avenue that the Space Foundation implements to inspire, enable and propel the next generation of explorers.
Programs for both teachers and their students are available. Teachers can fortify their curriculum with space science by attending the Space Across the Curriculum courses, becoming a Teacher Liaison, and even earning professional development or graduate credit towards several different accredited Master's programs.
