Reaching 1 Million Youth—Building Tomorrow’s STEM Innovators Today
Our society demands strong thinkers. S.T.E.M. Literacy isn’t just about science and technology; it’s about preparing youth to solve real-world problems, drive innovation, and lead the global economy. We’re building a pipeline of leaders who will shape Earth and beyond.
Why It Matters
The future of our global economy depends on a workforce fluent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Every industry—from healthcare and aerospace to energy and advanced manufacturing—requires talent with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically. Yet too many young people, especially those in under-resourced communities, lack access to high-quality STEM education that connects learning to real-world opportunities.
By investing in STEM literacy today, we prepare the next generation to not only fill jobs but to create new industries, solve urgent challenges like climate change, and lead in innovation that benefits all of humanity. Equipping 1 million youth with these skills is not just an educational goal—it is an economic, social, and global imperative.
Our mission is to reach 1 million youth, especially girls and women, between middle school and post-graduate school with the message, “Blend your personal passions with S.T.E.M. careers, especially in aerospace and the new commercial space economy.”
Empower youth today, Ignite the innovations of tomorrow
Interstellar Dreams Space Week: October 13-19, 2025
Interstellar Dreams Space Week cultivates an awareness of S.T.E.M careers in aerospace, beyond being an astronaut. Interstellar Dreams Space Week is designed to identify next-generation talent, celebrate commercial space accomplishments, and spotlight advanced technology supporting the Space For Earth belief system. Space for Earth includes technologies, research, and exploration to benefit life on Earth. This concept is broad, diverse, and multifaceted, involving various aspects of space exploration and its direct and indirect impacts on our planet.
We will spotlight career opportunities in aerospace beyond being an astronaut. This week-long event is designed to inspire youth to blend passions( art, health, the law, medicine, the environment, energy, food, fashion, or entrepreneurship) with diverse S.T.E.M. careers in aerospace, which includes the emerging commercial space economy.
