01 / What we build

Four disciplines.
One field laboratory.

Students turn ideas into working systems—learning the science, design process, and teamwork behind every launch, flight, and dive.

01

Engineering

Design, prototype, measure, and improve. Every challenge begins with a question and ends with a better solution.

  • CAD
  • Fabrication
  • Testing

02

Robotics

Build machines for Alaska’s air and water—from remotely operated underwater vehicles to autonomous aircraft.

  • ROV
  • UAV
  • Control

03

Rocketry

Turn physics into flight through careful design, safe construction, launch operations, and real telemetry.

  • Propulsion
  • Flight
  • Telemetry

04

Aerospace

Explore lift, navigation, atmosphere, and space systems while solving problems at the edge of possibility.

  • Avionics
  • Navigation
  • Space

02 / Our mission

Alaska is our
laboratory.

We use ambitious, real-world projects to help young people become confident builders, creative problem-solvers, and capable teammates.

ASK

Start with curiosity and a useful question.

MAKE

Learn by building something real.

ITERATE

Test, learn, improve, and try again.

03 / Mission status

Our website is under construction.
So are our rockets and robots.

STEM Alaska is taking shape now. This first site marks the starting point—and it is intentionally built so students can learn the code, make it better, and eventually take the controls.

04 / Make contact

A new mission
is taking shape.

Program details and ways to get involved are coming soon. Bookmark this site and follow the build as STEM Alaska comes online.
