A huge shoutout to the incredible judges who joined us at the Starborn Academy Symposium to review student Moon Mission projects and inspire the next generation of innovators! The 35 students who joined for the symposium were selected from over 700 students, who will all have their projects launching to the Moon later this year!
These students didn’t just present to teachers—they shared their work with real leaders in STEM, aerospace, energy, tech, and sustainability. This kind of authentic industry connection is what workforce development is all about—showing students that their ideas matter and that their future in STEM starts now.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to a few of our guest judges:
