The Daniel Foundation generously provided a challenge grant of $150,000 to support the completion of the redesigned Rocket Park. Their partnership and dedicated three-year commitment will enable the Rocket Center to provide immersive STEM education opportunities to more students in Alabama and globally, in a setting that showcases the state’s historic role in space exploration. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation’s success is due to our partnerships, thank you Daniel Foundation of Alabama.

For more than 30 years students have come from across the U.S. and the world to SCIVIS (Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students), a program that immerses visually impaired students in STEM activities. The long-standing annual support from the Teubert Charitable Trust Foundation and the Delta Gamma Foundation have contributed to the program’s success and growth, making it possible for children with visual impairments to experience Space Camp. This program held each fall breaks down barriers for visually impaired children by exposing them to high-tech careers and successful professionals with visual impairments, fostering their belief in pursuing diverse career paths and envisioning themselves in careers they may not have thought possible. Thank you for your dedication to our mission, we would not be successful without you!
