#ThrowbackThursday to Go For Launch! 4-H in Space in 2022 at Kennedy Space Center. We had a blast working with the stellar students from 4-H in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, and Indiana. Super excited that we will get to work with 4-H Florida again next year! There will be a #GoForLaunch event with them in Gainesville in 2025... stay tuned for details! #SpaceInspires #STEM #STEAM #4H #Space #tbt

Last week Higher Orbits had the privilege to attend IAC2024 in Milan with 2 stellar students - Brianna Ortiz & Sophia Crowder. The students, and our founder Michelle Lucas, soaked in all the space they could! They explored the exhibits, talked with people throughout the industry, checked out the new Space Station concept from VAST (and all agreed they would like to fly a mission to there together!), saw some long-time friends, made many new friends, learned from sessions as well as many discussions, and so much more... oh and enjoyed some gelato too! We love that so many people gather for this event to share their passion and vision for space. It is truly an incredible opportunity for us to be able to share this event with students and we hope to be able to bring students to this event every year! Stay tuned, we will be sharing post-event blogs from Sophie and Bri in the near future! #SpaceInspires #STEM #STEAM #Space #IAC2024 #WorkforceDevelopment #Inspiration #HigherOrbitsInItaly #ItTakesAVillageToLaunchStudentsDreamsToSpace Clay Mowry
