Space Education Foundation

To inspire curiosity about space activities

To educate children and young adults about human space exploration

Purpose

The Space Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization devoted in the development of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs among Latinos/Hispanics and other underrepresented students’ populations.

Our purpose is to increase the awareness on science and engineering, with special emphasis in space technology, on children and young adults, so they can pursue professional technical and scientific careers which, while not necessarily devoted to space activities, can help to develop their economies and communities.
