What we Do
Since our founding in 2001, the Federation of Galaxy Explorers has delivered a hands-on understanding of space science, earth science, engineering, and rocketry to over 300,00 students and families across the nation. We partnered with schools, corporations, and STEM festivals to ensure space-related science education is accessible to all students in K-12. And, we continue to grow our programming and expand ways to make a bigger impact. Are you ready to become a Galaxy Explorer?
Battle of the Rockets
IThis Federation of Galaxy Explorers program offers multiple engineering design challenges to rocketry teams from high schools, colleges, trade schools, and non-profit organizations. It is designed to provide challenges that continuously increase as the competitor's skill level grows. BOR competition is held in the spring, and registration opens in August. Sponsorships are available for the 2025 competition.
Mission Teams
Our Mission Teams are after-school enrichment programs that support the National Science Education Standards and are designed to provide a real-world understanding of space science, earth science, engineering, rocketry, and space citizenship. Mission Teams meet a minimum of once a month.
Summer Camps
Summer Camps are an adventure to remember. Build a Moon or Mars base camp, design rockets, program robots, and end the summer with a rocket launch. The summer fun continues for grades 3 - 10.
