“Mavericks In The Classroom” STEM Education Program
Sponsored by Sony & Intel
The Rocket Project is giving a group of highly dedicated science students at the California Academy of Math & Science, the rare opportunity to take their ideas beyond the surface of the Earth, and demonstrate their mastery of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics principals by participating as members of the Mavericks Clotho Project team in the design, construction, development and flight testing of the BEAGLE VI rocket. The “Mavericks in the Classroom” STEM Education program also provides the students an upper-division undergraduate level accelerated rocket engineering course, taught by Thomas M. Atchison of Mavericks Civilian Space Foundation. Learn more…

Featured Research Project
For millennia humans have explored the biodiversity of life on earth, from the bottom of the oceans to the tropical rainforests. But what about when we leave the surface of the earth?
Darwin noted algae in dust, Pasteur started the quest, and the Mavericks Foundation Clotho Project will complete Darwin’s and Pasteurs work by quantifying and qualifying life above us, sampling higher than ever before and using cutting edge aerospace technology and biological engineering to answer one of the fundamental questions in biology today.
