Outreach activities

Ad Astra Academy

Students participate in the inaugural Ad Astra Academy: Mars Academy - Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.

Through partnerships with educators and scientists in local communities, we are seeking to engage young students in the exploration of their world through the scientific method. Driven by their curiosity, these students develop hypotheses, seek data, and formulate their own conclusions. The capstone of previous programs has been acquiring images of Mars from using HiRISE camera onboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. More information can be found over at Ad Astra Academy.

Science and exploration can be accessible to curious minds all over the world. Young people in under-resourced communities throughout the developing world deserve the same opportunities afforded to students at the best schools in America.
