Stratostar

ABOUT STRATOSTAR StratoStar is an education company that travels cross country to start project based learning programs in junior high, high school, college, and graduate schools seeking to put a greater emphasis on their STEM Education initiatives. Using weather balloons, easy to use software, and a teaching plan that has been implemented in schools at all levels, as well as, high profile government institutions, StratoStar takes students away from the textbook and into a real life mission. Your students will plan, build, launch, and analyze the results of a successful balloon launch that will travel to the edge of space complete with video and computer generated flight analysis. HOW DOES STRATOSTAR SUPPORT STEM THROUGH PROJECT BASED LEARNING? It's easy to think of StratoStar as a weather balloon company. However, we are first and foremost an education company looking to provide unique ways to encourage STEM Education initiatives. We use weather balloons because we have found them to be the best vehicle for incorporating all areas of STEM and increasing education and absorption of subject matter. Educational institutions and government agencies work with StratoStar as a partner to accomplish STEM based learning goals.
