On May 6, 2025, the Future African Space Explorer’s STEM Academy FASESA, in collaboration with Boeing, launched the second edition of the Pathways to Space programme.
Building upon its previous success, the programme returned to Ethiopia and Nigeria and debuted in Kenya, aiming to engage up to 300 students aged 13 to 18 from state schools across the three countries.
The initiative is designed to ignite interest in space sciences and equip African youth with foundational skills in astronautics, engineering, and aerospace careers.
Delivered in partnership with local educational and government institutions, the programme will run for five months and include weekly classes, spacewalk simulations, robotic arm control exercises, and a capstone project in which students will produce a documentary on space exploration.
The programme builds on the success of its 2024 edition, which involved over 300 students from Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania and culminated in the launch of a student assembled high altitude balloon.
Additionally, FASESA and Boeing plan to expand the reach of the Pathways to Space programme to other African countries in the coming years, reflecting and aligning with national priorities as African countries advance space technology efforts and develop their own satellite and national space programmes.
