Bring curiosity, collaboration, and innovation to your school or community.
Whether at your school or community center, starting a STEM club is the first step toward exploring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a collaborative environment. Diversity and collaboration are key! Invite students with interests in coding, electronics, space, writing, event organizing, and more. The more perspectives, the stronger your team.
The PROVES Kit is a treasure trove for student innovators. Discover open-source schematics, build guides, and mission documentation that help you design and test your own projects. Check out Bronco Space’s GitHub to dive in.
Mentorship can accelerate your learning and expand your network. Connect with university labs like Bronco Space or student organizations such as the Stanford Space Initiative. Many professionals are excited to guide younger students and share insights from their own space missions.
Dream of seeing your satellite in orbit? Programs like NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) or commercial rideshares like SpaceX’s Transporter missions provide real pathways for student satellites to reach space. Start early and carefully plan your application for maximum success!
Following in the spirit of missions like Orpheus, include public outreach as a core part of your project. Collaborate with ham radio enthusiasts, host educational workshops, or create online content to share your discoveries. Engaging the community not only educates others but also inspires future generations of STEM enthusiasts.
