Cosmic STEM Lab
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit space-themed makerspace, open to the public with a focus on fostering creativity and passion for STEM.
WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
We understand that walking into a makerspace without knowing how to use the equipment or who to ask for help is a major deterrent, and we are here to help tear down those barriers! We explain how to use all of the equipment in an easy-to-understand manner and set up programs and activities to promote learning and technology use. We strive to make technology free and accessible to all without the fears that come with learning new things. When building this foundation of understanding technology in a relaxed and fun environment (especially with our youths), we hope to encourage futures in STEM and increase awareness and passion for our booming space industry. We believe space exploration is the future, and we aim to bring the universe closer to those areas of the country where space appears too far out of reach.
The Importance of STEM
Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics
STEM education promotes critical thinking, improves science literacy, increases self-confidence, and empowers future generations of innovators. Innovators take knowledge and skills and develop new ideas, methods, and products necessary to overcome existing obstacles. Even developing a basic working knowledge of Science and Math is a great first step towards beginning to design and engineer ideas that result in technologies.
