Space to Succeed is an educational initiative focused on expanding access to space science education for young women and scholars in underfunded communities. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship, college advising, and soon-to-come curriculum development, the project aims to introduce students to fields like astronomy, physics, and planetary science that are often absent from their school curricula. By integrating these subjects into existing high school science courses and connecting students with women working in STEM, Space to Succeed seeks to provide earlier exposure to scientific careers and create pathways to higher education and opportunities in science.
