INTERSTELLAR DREAMS SPACE WEEK
Interstellar Dreams Space Week cultivates an awareness of S.T.E.M careers in aerospace, beyond being an astronaut. Held October 13-19, 2025, Interstellar Dreams Space Week presents a unique opportunity for community leaders, aerospace companies, and educators to make a meaningful impact on our emerging generation.
Interstellar Dreams Space Week 2025 is the first event of its kind hosted by The Pearl project Institute for Innovation in STEM Literacy, not for profit 501 (c) 3. We aim to have over 1000 participants nationally in attendance ranging in ages from 12-25yr old.
Our events run for a duration of 7 days in various locations, inviting aerospace corporations, government based space agencies, and universities.
The Pearl Project Institute for Innovation in STEM Literacy is a registered NonProfit 501 (c) organization
