About the ASCC

The Australian Space Curriculum Collaborative (ASCC) is a dynamic initiative that brings together leading educators, industry experts, and university students to co-create innovative, space-themed STEM curriculum resources. A partnership between the University of Sydney, the NSW Department of Education, and the Aldrin Family Foundation, and the Andy Thomas Space Foundation the ASCC empowers teachers and future educators through hands-on workshops, expert-led seminars, and collaborative learning experiences. Designed to strengthen Australia's position in space education, the ASCC is aligned with the 2025 International Astronautical Congress and aims to build a thriving community of practice that connects local and international space education efforts.
