We are a team of over 150 young professionals, engineers, scientists, and researchers from across the MENA region, united by one bold dream:
To build the first educational institute for STEM and space exploration in Wadi Rum, Jordan — a place where dreams will take root, and futures will be launched.
This is not just a one-time mission. This is a daily-operating station, an institute built by youth, for youth, dedicated to hands-on learning, scientific innovation, and opportunity for women, youth, and the wider Marginalized Areas.
WHY WADI RUM?
Wadi Rum is more than a breathtaking desert — it’s a natural classroom. Its stunning landscapes, rich history, and extreme environment make it the perfect place to teach survival, sustainability, and innovation. From simulating life on Mars to tackling real-world climate challenges, Wadi Rum offers a one-of-a-kind setting to educate, inspire, and empower communities where quality education is often out of reach.
WHAT THIS INSTITUTE WILL OFFER
- Hands-on STEM & Space Education
- Mars Simulation Missions & Training
- Women & Girls in STEM Programs
- Youth & Community STEM Activities
- Sustainable Agriculture & Climate Labs
- Robotics & Rover Testing Grounds
- Survival & Remote Living Training
- Cross-MENA Youth Collaboration
- Modular Habitats & Research Labs
A year-round hub empowering underserved youth and future innovators from the MENA region.
Why It Matters
This project is about empowerment through education.
It’s about giving every young person in Jordan, the Levant, and across the MENA region the chance to dream beyond the sky — and the tools to make those dreams a reality.
