How to Shoot for the Moon
DECLARE A MISSION, NOT A MAJOR.
How to Shoot for the Moon is a kaleidoscope of curriculum designed and inspired by the science and art of space exploration.
The work is a radical collaboration between the Stanford d.school, the Stanford Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and organizations including Blue Origin, SETI, X, the moonshot factory, and more.
Our mission is to help students discover who they are, why they’re here, where they want go and how to experiment towards getting there.
