Taksha Space Explorium: Global Consortium (TSEGC)

Introduction

Taksha Space Explorium: Global Consortium, a division within the Taksha Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, and Design, is a place for educators to share best practices for K-12 STEAM+D curriculum, resources, professional development and free online learning platforms. Its intent is to open wide the doors of educational programs for teachers so that the space explorers of tomorrow are well equipped.

Participating educators and organizations will participate in Quarterly Online Meetings, Global Partnerships, International Collaborations, Classroom Exchanges (for instance, an educator in South Africa trades places with an educator in Sweden and vice versa) and Open Source access to STEAM+D curriculum, especially as it relates to 21st century goals in outer space.

From the Moon to Mars, to Asteroids and AI, from Coding to Living Off-World, the Taksha Space Explorium: Global Consortium will do its best to connect and collaborate and make space accessible for all.

Taksha Space Explorium: Global Consortium exists to facilitate great space and aerospace content, experiences and connections to space industry experts for educators, teachers, parents and students around the globe.

Welcome to Taksha Institute!

Originally founded in 1976 by Adarsh Deepak, PhD, as the Institute for Atmospheric Optic and Remote Sensing (IFAORS), TakshaShila Institute (doing business as "Taksha Institute," "Taksha," or "TI") remains a dynamic, not-for-profit [501(c)3] tax-exempt, independent minority institution of advanced research and learning, with the addition of non-technical subject matter, since its inception. As a non-degree giving, non-diploma awarding institution, TI is engaged in cutting-edge research projects and learning opportunities in the form of workshops, seminars, and other events, for all ages (from kindergarten to life-long learning), for personal or professional growth and enhancement.

Incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia (US), Taksha has its headquarters in Hampton, VA, with a West Coast/Silicon Valley, CA office. From its inception, TI has been supported entirely by R&D meetings management contracts with the federal government, industry, and UN organizations; the collection of registration fees for events; and donations from industry and private parties.
