 The Michaelis Foundation for Global Education proudly co-hosted an extraordinary Space & STEAM immersion, designed to empower educators with advanced knowledge and skills in Space and STEAM education. This unique experience combined classroom instruction with dynamic, hands-on, and interactive activities, all aimed at inspiring educators to ignite curiosity and innovation in their students.
Representing over 30 schools, participants dove deep into cutting-edge topics like Astrobiology, CubeSats, Robotics, and Rocket Science. Through engaging workshops, project-based learning sessions, and expert-led discussions, educators discovered innovative ways to bring Space and STEAM education into their classrooms, fostering the next generation of scientific minds. Highlights of the program included visits to iconic landmarks of the pioneering American Space Program, where educators gained firsthand insights into the history and future of space exploration. They also explored the latest advancements in science and engineering, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications. This immersive experience would not have been possible without the incredible support of International School, KSCIA International Space Academy, and the Center for Space Education. Together, we are building a brighter future by empowering educators to inspire students and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. Special thanks to all our partners and participants for making this journey truly “out of this world.” 🚀✨
