As an engineering student at @Columbia @CUSEAS @ColumbiaBME, it was an honor for my non-profit @IgnitedThinkers to work with @CGCNairobi to host an inspiring event, which ignited the passion for hundreds of students across Kenya to pursue interdisciplinary aerospace careers🚀🇰🇪!
It was inspiring to support the next generation of Global #Space Explorers with hands-on experiences from Planetarium Displays to rocket launches! We were proud to assist @GitikaGorthi in organizing a space education summit encouraging young adults to pursue space-related careers
