First Light Education
"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire."
- William Butler Yeats, Irish poet, 1865-1939 AD
The most respected organizations on our planet choose First Light Education to create compelling K-12 content from scratch.
Some of our past and ongoing programs in education include:
Students To Launch
Students To Launch is an informal, afterschool program we created with funding from AIAA, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The program encourages students to experience the wonders of spaceflight and inspires them to play an active role in a future of infinite possibilities. Students today—the Artemis Generation—will have the opportunity to live and work in space. Students To Launch invites them to dream and wonder about participating in that future.

Project Ianos
Project Ianos is a classroom-based, STEM-education program we created with grant funding from NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Project Ianos materials blend immersive, hosted videos with a standards-aligned curriculum of hands-on activities. Designed by teachers for teachers, each Expedition and its associated Missions focus on a specific aspect of human spaceflight.

Explorer At Large
Explorer At Large began as a classroom-based, STEM-education program we created with grant funding from the Smithsonian Institution, Department of Education, Bezos Family Foundation, and community funders in Columbus, Ohio to inspire K-3 students to be explorers. With the success of the program, it is now being updated to appeal to all audiences with a specific focus to build a bridge betweeen people and the planet in order to help us find a path that is sustainable and balanced.

First Light Education creates best-in-class education programs and initiatives to help engage, inspire, and educate students wherever they are: in the classroom, at home, and anywhere in between. Our goal is to spark curiosity and coax that spark into a flame of lifelong learning.
