IGNITE PASSION
IN THE NEXT GENERATION TO
BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF A
SPACEFARING CIVILIZATION
What We Do
Since our founding in 2001, the Federation of Galaxy Explorers has delivered hands-on space exploration programs to over 300,000 students and families nationwide. We partner with schools, corporations, and STEM festivals to ensure space science, earth science, rocketry, engineering, and space citizenship curricula are accessible to all students in K-12.
Mission Teams meet monthly to provide real-world understanding of our five core space science categories. There's no special technical knowledge required to start a team. We provide Leaders with the curriculum to implement. Enroll today!
Join other teams in Spring 2025, for two days in Culpeper, Virginia, for The Battle of the Rockets™. This competition offers multiple engineering design challenges to rocketry teams from high schools, colleges, trade schools, and non-profit organizations such as boy scouts, girl scouts, and 4-H club. It is designed to provide challenges that continuously increase as the competitor's skill level grows. Registration for BOR Team has closed. Sponsorships are available for the 2025 competition.
The Federation of Galaxy Explorers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization built on drawing from people's generosity and the volunteer spirit of supporting our enrichment programs and events. Whether you can assist through a monetary donation, sponsoring a mission team, or volunteering your time at an event, your help expands our mission. No specific degree or experience is necessary. We are a certifying organization for eligible volunteers for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
