What EdTechTeam does

ARES Learning is a privately held, Irvine, California-based education company that delivers project-based, research-driven space education programs primarily to K-12 educators and, secondarily, to the general public and students. The company's core offerings include an online Space Education Course designed to build teacher confidence in delivering space content, the Earth and Space Experience — a three-day immersive field program conducted at Spaceport America and surrounding planetary-analog landforms — and a Membership bundle that combines the course, virtual telescope tours, and partner discounts. Supplementary resources include a published Space Education book (ISBN B0B7QDGYWB) sold on Amazon, curriculum hosted on CK12 FlexBooks, a YouTube-based Space Education Summit, and a Space Education Community Facebook group.

Underlying technology is light: the platform is a standard online learning experience built around content delivery, with authentic science experiences enabled through a partnership with Slooh, which provides students access to a global network of remote telescopes for data capture and observation. No proprietary AI/ML models, APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software platforms are disclosed; the technical differentiation lies in curated space-education content, the field-experience logistics at Spaceport America, and telescope-network integration via Slooh.

The business model is subscription-centric, with annual memberships as the primary recurring revenue stream, supplemented by one-time book sales on Amazon and professional-services revenue from in-person field experiences. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer self-serve via the ARES Learning website, augmented by channel partnerships with Slooh (telescope access), Planex.Space (affiliated with The Planetary Society), and MaxIQ.Space, as well as community-driven marketing through Facebook, YouTube, and founder-led Calendly outreach by Dr. Mark Wagner. The firm is founder-led, operates with 1-10 employees, and shows no disclosed venture capital, private equity backing, or parent company affiliations.
