Where Wonder Takes Flight
When Students See Aerospace as Possible, They Soar.
Explore Aerospace is here to support the educators, librarians, museum guides, and community leaders who believe that every child deserves access to STEM careers—especially the ones who’ve never stepped foot on a runway.

Modular Curriculum & Training Guides
Our initial modules (built around Kerbal Space Program) introduce core spaceflight and orbital mechanics concepts. These modules include step-by-step facilitator guides, setup instructions, bonus objectives, and will eventually include video walkthroughs and infographics.
Educator Support
We equip educators with materials that make implementation easy. We expect to expand to include teacher walkthroughs and limited coaching—not full PD programming. We welcome teacher feedback to improve our tools but will be intentional about how we scale collaboration.
Learning Labs as the Platform
Our content serves as the starter pack for a larger lab ecosystem. We design the core experience (e.g., Kerbal), but the lab is meant to grow with add-ons like flight sims, drone sims, and Minecraft EDU—added by the school or in partnership with content providers.
Scalable Toolkit, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Each site customizes their experience. We help define what a good program looks like (curriculum, engagement, equipment, training), but we are not running the entire year’s content. Our current modules are an engaging introduction, and we’ll work with sites to ensure the toolkit fits their goals.
