We are excited to announce that two of the original cohorts of the Phoenix Space Program completed the program in January. The cohort from SPI in Istanbul began in February 2020, and the St. Paul Center, Lebanon, group began in July. While classes alternated between in-person and online due to COVID-related restrictions, the students showed incredible resilience and dedication in finishing the curriculum. The St. Paul Center students were also able to participate in a high-altitude scientific balloon camp in person during the program. Learn more about the Phoenix Space Program here.
