ABOUT US
SCOPE-NM is a community project for New Mexico students with little to no knowledge about the space sector. Students are encouraged to become space leaders through a series of virtual workshops, where they explore, interact, and help "make space" for others like them. Professionals across the civil, commercial, academic, non-profit, and community pillars of space are invited to mentor students through a volunteer mentorship program.
🚀 Our Mission
To improve local and public accessibility to space education and career opportunities in New Mexico and beyond.
🧑🏼🔬 Our Method
SCOPE-NM regularly updates local space development and resources on our site for all visitors and runs a space education and leadership program for students.
