Thunder Over NH = complete success ✔️ thanks to the BEST volunteers ever 🙌💙 We met so many awesome military families and future STEM rockstars—our hearts (and skies) are full! ✈️🚀

The ‘Yes! You Can Learn Practical Radio’ class learns about radio astronomy, geodesy, and geospace with Mary Knapp, Sam Thé, and Nancy Kotary at MIT’s Haystack Observatory on the last day of the program

Ready, set, go….Here at BluePrint meeting lots of students!

Great day for STEM activities at Pease AFB

During Pi day we are asking for your help at BWSI! Our impactful programs would not be possible without your generosity. Please donate today.

Great talk and weekend at the SmallSAT Education Conference.

The MIT Great Dome has been the place where many pranks, or "hacks", have occurred. In the past, a great many objects have been placed upon it, ranging from police cars, pianos, even a giant block of cheese was once found on top of the dome. This year, we decided to put our programs director Bob Shin, on top of the dome. Hopefully he gets down safely.

CubeSAT aims to teach students about satellite imaging and subsystems, with the goal of having students create their own miniature satellite. Students then have the opportunity to test their creations on a mock orbit with the mission of capturing images of the minature cities of Beaverlandia.
