WHY BECOME A STELLARXPLORERS SPONSOR?

Support the next generation of the STEM workforce.

What started in 2015 as a pilot space system design competition for a handful of students in Colorado has become a multi-faceted, nationwide program that’s exciting students about space and STEM education and careers. Our sponsors are what allow this type of growth to happen.
