Space World is Newest Space Certified Education Product

The Space Foundation welcomes its most recent Certified Education Product – Space World™ – and partner company Intergalactic Education LLC, based in Washington, D.C. Founder Justin Park has been campaigning to get Space World into classrooms across the U.S.

“Good decisions require an even better vision,” he said. “Intergalactic Education continues to execute its strategic plan to make Space World’s educational platform one that is truly out of this world.”

Interest in Space World has been spreading rapidly. Content specialists from the Charles County (Md.) Public Schools recently approved Space World’s pilot program for use in classrooms next month. The Intergalactic Education team visited the American University sound studio to record voice-overs for the game, and also took part in the P3 Game Jam at the Goethe-Institut in Washington, D.C. And Intergalactic Education went to Cape Canaveral for the NASA OSIRIS-REx launch.

About Space World™
Space World isn’t just a game, but a platform for teachers and aerospace companies. It helps youth learn about the corporations that are taking us to the stars, and understand the technologies and science that these organizations are developing. By interlacing space entertainment with the rigors of mathematics, and then backing it with an in-game rewards system, the product covertly gets kids excited about learning.
