About DreamUp

DreamUp brings space to the classroom, and the classroom to space. We provide opportunities for students and teachers to gain unparalleled real-world STEM experience to engage today’s dreamers and prepare tomorrow’s problem solvers. We have launched over 400 experiments to space (and counting!) and engaged with learners all over the world.

DreamUp’s hands-on approach teaches students the interdisciplinary skills they need to be successful in today’s technology-driven world. Our programs develop skills in communication, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and data analysis in a way that’s exciting and engaging for students of all levels.

DreamCoder

Send your students’ code to the Space Station! DreamCoder introduces students to the basics of computer engineering with a truly out-of-this world lab. No experience is necessary to begin designing and testing experiments as soon as your hardware kit arrives. When the code is ready, we’ll send it to our identical equipment on board the International Space Station (ISS).

DreamCoder lessons tackle real-world problems with Python3 concepts. The Launchpad is your mission control, where you write and test code. The NGSS-aligned curriculum guides students through the engineering design process from start to finish

Access free student activities

Launch a DIY experiment to space with easy-to-use hardware:

  • Mixstix: an enclosure similar to a test tube, containing materials that can be combined or shaken by an astronaut while on the ISS
  • Nanolabs: a customized enclosure, ranging in size but usually 10x10x15 centimeters, offering more capabilities and volume for your experiment
  • CubeSats: small satellites that orbit the Earth, which can be designed for your needs and communicate with you for 1-2 years
