What STEMX-365 does

STEMX365 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The organization delivers space-based STEM education programs and international competitions to students in underserved communities globally, with primary focus on Bangladesh and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Its core product portfolio consists of five ISS-linked programs: the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (KRPC), Asian Try Zero-G (ATZ-G), Satellite Sisters & Brothers Anime Festa (SSAF), Space Hacks Initiative (SHI), and the SPACE-TEAMS Academy Global Challenge. These programs are developed and delivered through institutional partnerships with JAXA Kibo-ABC, NASA Space Grant, APRSAF, and SPACE-TEAMS Academy, providing direct access to real ISS missions and experimentation.

The organization has developed an AI-enabled space education platform that incorporates computer vision (YOLO 8) and autonomous robot programming workshops. All programs are provided free to students, with the organization operating on a non-commercial distribution model funded through grants, donations, and institutional partnerships. STEMX365 has reached 1,000+ students across 15+ countries through a combination of 5 employees and a global ambassador network. The organization's go-to-market relies on partnerships with space agencies and educational institutions rather than direct sales, with geographic expansion driven by ambassador recruitment in target countries.

Brands

• SPACE-TEAMS Academy: An international STEM initiative that connects students, educators, and mentors through real-world inspired space engineering challenges. Powered by STEMX365 Space Education Ecosystem.

Products and services

• Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (KRPC) International educational initiative where students program free-flying robots (Astrobee and Int-Ball) aboard the International Space Station, supported by JAXA and NASA. Participants develop skills in AI, robotics, computer vision, and space systems engineering.
• Asian Try Zero-G (ATZ-G) Competition created by JAXA inviting students to submit experimental proposals that are conducted by astronauts aboard the ISS. Students propose simple physics experiments for visual observation in microgravity environments.
• Space Seeds for Asian Future (SSAF) International education and space biology program led by JAXA where students conduct plant growth experiments while astronauts perform corresponding activities aboard the ISS Japanese Experiment Module (Kibo).
• Space Harvest Ideathon (SHI) Youth challenge inviting students to select one plant and explain how it can support astronauts' nutrition, quality of life, and well-being during long-duration missions to ISS, Moon, and Mars through video pitch presentations.
• SPACE-TEAMS Academy Global Challenge International STEM initiative connecting students, educators, and mentors through real-world inspired space engineering challenges. Participants gain experience in robotics, AI, systems engineering, teamwork, and mission design.
