Not every person will get to ride on a rocket, see one lift off, or build a satellite or payload, but everyone — students/teachers, young leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals — has the opportunity to contribute to delivering space technology solutions that we depend on every day here on Earth, like more accurate weather forecasting, new materials for manufacturing goods, advanced global communications, healthcare innovation, and precision farming.
As a global steward and convener of the world’s $415B and growing space community, Space Foundation introduces its Space Education to enable access for everyone — all demographics and skill sets — by creating and delivering workforce development and economic opportunity programs.
Through collaboration and partnership across the entire spectrum of stakeholders from the global space community — business, government, education and local communities — the Space Education can get you on the first step toward your hopes, dreams… jobs, careers and new business ventures.
