High Altitude Balloon Challenge

Transform a Cadet's Future Through STEM Education.

Your gift today opens doors to critical STEM education for cadets who need it most. For $1,500, you can provide hands-on learning opportunities that build essential skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Why This Matters: Your gift today helps cadets design real-world experiments that test how everyday objects react at the edge of space. These young scientists will launch their work into the stratosphere on high-altitude weather balloons, solving problems that could help humanity's future space exploration. You're giving them hands-on experience that textbooks simply can't match.

The Impact of Your Gift:

$1,500 helps provide 88 deserving cadets with the opportunity to participate in the HABC

$5,000 supports 293 cadets with access to this STEM education opportunity

$10,000 transforms the lives of 587 cadets in developing vital STEM skills

Give the gift of opportunity that launches dreams into reality. Your donation today creates pathways for tomorrow's aerospace innovators.
