A new cohort of the Phoenix Space Program starting in Kilis, Turkey

We will begin teaching a new cohort of the Phoenix Space Program, our main STEM education offering, at the Nama’a Center in Kilis, Turkey, in mid-June 2021. Registration for the program is underway, and we anticipate that approximately 20 students will be starting the 32-week program. This will be the second cohort of our program at the Nama’a Center and our 9th overall. We are working to add more centers and classes in the region as we continue to scale our operations.
