RocketSTEM Media Foundation is a private, not-for-profit organization established for the purpose of fostering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education throughout countries of planet Earth via the promotion of the wonders of space exploration. Our first project is the publication of a RocketSTEM magazine with content geared toward teachers, students, and parents as well. The publication blends space history – past, present, and future – with interviews, astronomy lessons, aerospace and astronomy news, museum features, NASA technology spinoffs, and educational resources; along with explanations of the mathematics and physics of all things to do with space travel. Besides highlighting NASA and U.S. commercial space enterprises, we also feature endeavors of other national space agencies – ESA, JAXA, Roscomos, CNSA, and ISRO – as well as international space corporations.
The magazine and website are available worldwide to freely read online, or to download as a PDF.
RocketSTEM Media Foundation was established in 2012. Based out of Pensacola, Florida, the organization has volunteers located throughout the United States, England, and several other countries.
RocketSTEM’s goals are to:
- Inspire the world’s next generation of scientists, engineers, and astronauts.
- Keep educators informed on space developments and help them better work STEM lessons into their classrooms.
- Raise awareness of the benefits of space exploration among all citizens of planet Earth.
- Encourage international cooperation in space exploration.
