Sherlie's Home

The first event conducted by IgnitedThinkers was in Vizag, India at Sherlie's Home. Using Estes model rockets and motors, the kids learned about the importance of aerodynamic principles and the basics of rocketry. Over 60 kids were able to see the launching of rockets and learn about the basics of physics in model rocketry. It was an amazing experience, and all the kids thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Gitika Gorthi and Dr. Scribner are planning to conduct another workshop in the future to get these kids into space careers and to further the kids' understanding of rocketry in the future. IgnitedThinkers provided resources for kids to continue in model rocketry and space education, as well as giving awareness to these kids on how to get into the space industry.

This event was a proof of concept of future workshops IgnitedThinkers plans to host, and paves a pathway for future workshops for kids of all ages around the world.

Let's Make Space Education Accessible to All

IgnitedThinkers, in collaboration with YaYa Stars, hosted a diversity in STEAM webinar for 130+ students attending the Title 1 school Halley Elementary School. Diversity in STEAM is crucial for advancements and creative innovations, as well as to overcome obstacles. Conveying this message message to the future generations is crucial and illustrating examples of diverse champions in the STEAM industry is imperative to provide inspirational to the future generations.

Breaking stereotypes, conveying the importance of diversity, and showing the children they can be in the space industry was the focus of this webinar with the students! IgnitedThinkers can't wait to reach out to more students in collaboration with other change-makers in collaboration with YaYa Stars!
