Kids, get ready to launch a career in the space industry.
Carnegie Science Center, in collaboration with North Side-based lunar logistics company Astrobotic, announced an initiative Wednesday that aims to connect students across the region with Pittsburgh’s growing resources in the space industry.
CSC Director Jason Brown says the goal is to help students from early learners to those ready for the workforce in Allegheny County and 32 surrounding counties find educational and career readiness opportunities.
“Most people think of space as just the astronauts or the engineers who build things, but it’s so much more than that,” Brown says. “That’s what we hope to illuminate is, ‘Listen, there are 1,000 different jobs you could have and you can still work in space.’”
