Destination Moon STEM Design Challenge

Destination Moon STEM Design Challenge is sponsored by Boeing. This program, funded by a Boeing grant, provides fifth and sixth graders in Brevard Public Schools in Florida with hands-on, space-themed science, technology, engineering, and math challenges that mirror scientific and engineering tasks used in lunar exploration.

Launching a new generation of space explorers with moon missions Launching a new generation of space explorers with moon missions As Artemis II took to the sky, Boeing’s Destination Moon STEM Design Challenge sparks young innovators.

Education and Development A few miles from where Artemis II launched into the history books just outside of Kennedy Space Center, 525 fifth and sixth graders from 35 Brevard Public Schools in Florida tackled hands-on, space-themed science, technology, engineering and math challenges in the Destination Moon STEM Design Challenge, funded by a $200,000 Boeing grant.

</p>\r\n<p>The program gives students station-based activities that mirror scientific and engineering tasks used in lunar exploration. </p>\r\n<p><strong>Why it matters:</strong> Destination Moon aligns K–12 learning with industry needs by exposing young students to engineering reasoning early, which supports long term workforce development in aerospace and related fields.

</p>\r\n<p>The program complements national interest in preparing students for future Artemis and deep space initiatives.
