Outreach

We love sharing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) with our local community and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. Let’s connect!

Touring Our Facilities

Come get a view of some of the amazing work we do and where we do it.

Public Tours

Get a firsthand look at our state-of-the-art North Logan facilities, where multi-domain systems and instruments are designed, built, and tested. We offer evening public tours two times each month. Tours are limited to a maximum of 25 guests, and the route includes three buildings. Please come prepared to walk, climb up and down stairs, and stand for 20-30 minutes.

Bringing STEM to You

Invite us to support your STEM fun. We enjoy supporting our community and sharing fascinating topics.

STEM Events

Our outreach team and technical volunteers support STEM opportunities for local organizations and schools (grades 5-12). Submit a request 4-6 weeks prior to your event date for the following support:

  • STEM, science, or career fair booth, demonstration, and judging
  • Hands-on classroom or club demonstrations
  • Speakers for schools, clubs, and community organizations

We accept as many requests as possible; however, volunteer availability is not guaranteed.

Collaborating with Universities

Utah State University (USU) owns SDL, which enables partnerships with world-class researchers and industry experts in space science and engineering. University students can gain hands-on experience and industry insights through unique research connections and opportunities.

SDL experts give an in-person lecture to a classroom of university students.

Lectures

We offer a limited number of lectures for universities and organizations, where we talk about the innovative work we do and STEM topics related to our core capabilities. Remote lectures are available outside of the Wasatch Front.
