Space Camp
Changes Lives

At Space Camp, our STEM based (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education camps use the excitement of U.S. and international space programs to ignite our trainee’s interest in STEM learning. Our unique program line up of Space Camp, Aviation Challenge, U.S. Cyber Camp, and Robotics Camp offer real world applications and are a proven work force development tool. Trainees participate in a multi-discipline learning environment focused on leadership, teamwork, and the importance of exploration in a variety of career fields.

Space Camp scholarships launch the explorers of tomorrow by offering this unique experience to a trainee that otherwise may not have the opportunity to attend.Donations of all amounts are welcome, and each donation helps to send students to a camp experience that can impact them for a lifetime.

A donation of $2,000 funds a full scholarship to a weeklong camp. Donate today to impact the explorers of tomorrow!

Grace’s Girls’ Club attend Space Camp

Ten girls from Grace’s Girls’ Club are attending Space Camp and WAAY-31 covered the partnership on a recent newscast. Grace’s Girls’ Club is a place for everyone, especially young women and girls, to learn about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers. GGC is all about education, exploration, and explanation.

Support an Educator

Donations of all amounts are welcome, and each donation helps to send an educator through our program. Educators take back their experiences back to their classrooms to inspire even more future explorers. Trainees in Space Academy® for Educators earn up to 45 hours of Continuing Education credit, and educators get access to their own website with lesson plans, standards and tips needed to adapt many of the workshop activities to individual class environments. Space Academy® for Educators is offered June through July. Housing, program materials and meals are included in the tuition.

A donation of $1,200 funds a full scholarship to weeklong Space Academy for Educators.

Museum Field Trips

A field trip to the museum provides inspiration and a STEM experience to local students. However, under-resourced Title I schools and groups are finding it challenging to find funding for exciting out of school opportunities. Since most Title I organizations have policies requiring all students to participate in school activities, funding needs to be in place before a field trip can be scheduled. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation and the Mad Scientist Bash committee initiated a Museum Field Trip Scholarship Fund with proceeds from the annual Bash. In 2024, over 1100 participants from Title I schools and groups enjoyed a day in the museum thanks to this fund.

A gift of any amount helps ensure more underserved groups and Title I schools can visit the museum.
