STEM Education with Impact

BEGST programs are designed to spark imagination, develop skills, and prepare students for future careers in science and technology. We use project-based learning and real-world challenges to help students grow intellectually and socially.

Smart Sky

The sky’s the limit — unless you can’t see it.

Smart Sky is our mobile telescope initiative that brings the wonders of the universe to underrepresented communities. We deliver high-tech stargazing experiences to students, seniors, veterans, and more — overcoming barriers like light pollution, cost, and access.

Who It's For:

  • Junior high & high school students

  • College/university students

  • Senior citizens & veterans

  • Anyone with a passion for discovery!

McNair HBCU Observatory

A tribute to Dr. Ronald E. McNair, this observatory enables HBCU students to participate in NASA-aligned space research, using robotic telescopes and cutting-edge instruments — remotely or onsite.

Programs include:

  • Astrophotography

  • Spectroscopy

  • Exoplanet discovery

  • Collaborative NASA projects

The African Universe

A documentary series that explores the forgotten astronomical wisdom of ancient African civilizations — from the Dogon people of Mali to Adam’s Calendar in South Africa. It highlights the science, geometry, and innovation of early African skywatchers.

Support this legacy by donating or participating.

Beyond the Classroom. Into the Future.

We equip students to become real-world problem solvers through:

  • Curriculum Development

  • Science & Technology Seminars

  • Internship Training

Our students learn by doing — from building circuits to exploring galaxies.
