STEM & Outreach
Inspiring the next generation of space builders.
Orbit2Orbit runs hands-on programs that put real space hardware, real missions and real engineers in front of students. From payload flights to classroom visits, we want the next wave of Australian talent to know that space is something they can build, not just watch.
Live now · Round 2
Launch a Legend
Launch a Legend is our flagship STEM initiative. Students, universities and community groups nominate the Australian scientists, engineers and dreamers who inspired them, and the voting community chooses whose story rides on our next flight. Every nomination turns a real person's journey into a lesson in perseverance, and every launch turns that story into flight heritage.
Round 2 is open now. Nominate a legend, cast a vote, or bring your classroom along for the ride.
In your classroom
Book an Orbit2Orbit guest lecture.
Our engineers and mission team regularly visit primary schools, high schools, universities and community groups. We bring real flight hardware, walk through actual mission data, and answer every question thrown at us, whether it's about orbital mechanics, propulsion, or how to get a first job in space.
- • Primary and secondary school incursions
- • University guest lectures and industry panels
- • STEM clubs, careers days and community events
