Our space science-focused STEM programs are taught to refugee and local disadvantaged students in several formats, including classroom instruction, interactive workshops, online learning, and experiments in the field. Each course helps bridge the gap between learning and doing, as it includes both theoretical and practical applications.
Contribute to individual inspiration, empowerment and flourishing
Spark appreciation for STEM subjects and motivation to pursue more learning
Increase technical knowledge and literacy of STEM subjects
Develop increased competence and confidence in using digital technology
Develop 21rst century skills and attitudes
Enable educational and employment opportunities to participants
Encourage more widespread understanding and support of needs of refugee and underserved populations through partnerships
Empowered, skilled and critical thinking young people who participate in building a more just and inclusive society and creating economic value for their families, communities and countries.
Corporate, academia, government sectors invested in creating social impact via STEM education.
Our primary education program for refugee and disadvantaged students in the Middle East.
An online course teaching Python programming, presented in association with Codecademy.
Phoenix Space students gain knowledge about space science through theoretical and practical instruction.
For millions of refugee girls education remains an aspiration, not a reality. The school enrollment rate for Syrian girls aged 15-24 is under 25% in most host countries. Female refugee representation in STEM-related fields of study and work in this region is almost non-existent.
Girls@PhoenixSpace brings special attention to our female students, which are at the age when the opportunity cost for girls continuing education in particular becomes high. Our solution is multidimensional – not only providing STEM and soft skills and follow up programs, but also empowering girls through public awareness campaigns and community awareness initiatives. We believe enabling girls to actively participate and shape experiments such as launching a satellite can inspire more young women to pursue STEM education.
We believe programs such as Girls@PhoenixSpace can foster the spirit of innovation and technological inclusion of girls, empowering them to shape their future and the future of their communities.
