The organization is also home to STEM.org Certified Master Instructors who have contributed to the development of Aerostratospheric's STEM education and community outreach programs. Their experience helps guide the creation of educational materials and outreach opportunities intended to make STEM learning more accessible and engaging.

"Aerostratospheric was built around the idea that exploration should not be limited to the people who already have access to advanced laboratories or aerospace programs," said Jeremy D. Higgs, founder and director of Aerostratospheric. "Our STEM initiative gives students and lifelong learners a way to begin exploring these subjects while connecting education directly to the research and technology we are developing."
