Bringing rocket science down to earth
Until everyone has ready access to space-faring technology, Orbital will strive to bring our passion for aerospace technology and exploration to the public so as to inspire future minds to push the boundaries of what is possible and go further than those before them.
Purdue Space Day
Purdue Orbital participated in Purdue Space Day an educational outreach program for 3rd-8th graders designed to teach students about STEM through fun activities inspired by space technology and exploration. A group from Purdue Orbital led the 3rd grades through a stomp rocket activity, teaching physics concepts while acting as role models to this next generation of STEM thinkers.

It's always exciting to show this generation all the technological advances they have access to here at Purdue!
In small enough groups to be able to see and hear what is going on, we show the kids how cool aeronautics can be, and how they can get involved, too!
Presentations can be boring, but even after 3 sessions, these little rockstars took in all the awesome information we were giving them! They definitely bright futures ahead of them!
