Jason Krueger
I was your “unengaged” student! School was difficult for me as it felt like I would just memorize facts and spit them out on the test. But the summer was different because I was learning by doing! For the last 14 years I have taken this idea of hands-on learning with a holistic approach to helping you develop a new educational program for your school or district from planning, implementation and long term support for your educators.
StratoStar is the SpaceX of Education .... we have have developed a space program for you to run at your school and launch student projects to the edge of space all year long! We use high-altitude balloons as our lift vehicle and provide you with all the equipment, software and training to start a program just like the one we started with Kaci Heins @ Space Center Houston :)
