U.S. Space Education Mission to Portugal

The Michaelis Foundation for Global Education would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the U.S. Commercial Service Mindi Hertzog and the US Embassy Lisbon Ana Paula Vila for their incredible support in making our recent U.S. Space Education Mission to Portugal a great success. Thanks to their assistance, we had highly productive meetings with Portuguese institutions, leading to the creation of exciting new collaborative projects.

One such project is the International Journey ISS expedition, where we are proud to bring on board five Portuguese public schools, including the esteemed Carolina Michaelis school. Carolina Michaelis, who taught at a girls' high school between 1915 and 1916 and became the school's patron in 1926, is the inspiration behind The Michaelis Foundation and Science Days.

Additionally, we were thrilled to invite students and educators to participate in the upcoming Small Sat conference and the Space Conference for Educators. We are also pleased to announce that KSCIA and The Michaelis Foundation will be sponsoring students and teachers to attend our space education programs.
​
Together, we are forging new paths in space education and inspiring the next generation of explorers and innovators. 🌍🚀
