About SpaceKids Global
Mission
To inspire elementary students in STEAM+ EDUCATION; Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics + Environment; ensuring girls are equally represented.
Vision
To educate and actively engage a national audience of elementary school students in STEAM+ Environment activities, that introduce kids to the diversity of careers in space exploration and technology.
Why
There are 3.5 million STEM jobs that need to be filled by 2025 in the United States.* Studies show that if children aren't exposed to math and science at an age of seven, they'll lose interest. SpaceKids Global is on a mission to ensure every child is ready to enter the space age.
