Uplift Aerospace Expands Starborn Academy to Colorado
Uplift Aerospace (NRPI) has expanded its Starborn Academy education program to Colorado through a partnership with Denver Public Schools. The program's flagship initiative, Moon Mission: Letter to the Moon, will be implemented at the Denver School of Innovation and Sustainable Design (DSISD). This 8-week curriculum offers students hands-on STEM education, including experience with pressurized spacesuits, programming, and engineering fundamentals.
Students will create digital time capsules and collaborate with Astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor on an art piece that will be transported to the Moon via Astrolab's FLIP rover, launching in late 2025. Two students and a teacher will be selected to attend the launch at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The program culminates in the Starborn Academy Moon Mission Symposium on May 22, 2025, where students will present their space-themed projects to the community.

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Uplift Aerospace (OTC PINK:NRPI) is proud to announce the expansion of its education division, Starborn Academy, into Colorado through a new collaboration with Denver Public Schools. This marks a significant milestone in the program's mission to make high-impact STEM education accessible to students nationwide.
As part of the Colorado launch, students at the Denver School of Innovation and Sustainable Design (DSISD) will have the opportunity to send their own projects to the lunar surface aboard Astrolab's FLIP rover. The rover will be delivered to the Moon by Astrobotic's Griffin Mission-1 lander, a NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) mission.
The 8-week Starborn Academy curriculum and program, titled Moon Mission: Letter to the Moon, immerses high school students in a cutting-edge STEM curriculum, introducing them to computer programming, engineering, and space science through hands-on, problem-solving experiences. As part of the program, students will:
Experience pressurized spacesuits, simulating the challenges of space exploration.
Learn programming and engineering fundamentals essential to future space missions.
Create digital time capsules, sharing their vision for what life on the Moon could look like 50 years from now and how lunar exploration could benefit life on Earth.
Collaborate with Astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor in creating an art piece that will be part of the Moon mission.
"By engaging in hands-on, problem-based learning, students aren't just imagining the future, they're actively shaping it," said Emily Higgins, Director of Education at Uplift Aerospace. At the end of the program, two outstanding students and a teacher from DSISD will be chosen to attend the Moon mission launch at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Representing their school, they will witness their classmates' work embark on the historic journey to the Moon.
Dr. Evelyn Cruz, Principal of DSISD, shared, "When students see their ideas launched into space, they begin to understand that their voices carry weight, their dreams hold power, and their futures are not limited by gravity. This mission isn't just about reaching the Moon, it's about igniting purpose, possibility, and pride in every learner."
The Moon Mission: Letter to the Moon is made possible through Uplift Aerospace's collaboration with Astrolab's FLIP rover, which is targeted to launch to the Moon at the end of 2025, and astronaut-artist Dr. Sian Proctor. Dr. Proctor is integrating student messages into an exclusive artwork that will be featured on Astrolab's FLIP rover, creating a historic artwork that will become part of the FLIProver's journey to the Moon.
On May 22, 2025, DSISD will proudly host the Starborn Academy Moon Mission Symposium, an inspiring culmination of its first schoolwide Project-Based Learning experience. During this signature event, students will present their innovative, space-themed projects to the DSISD community, showcasing weeks of research, collaboration, and creativity. A panel of distinguished judges will engage directly with student presenters, exploring the depth and impact of their work. The symposium will conclude with a celebratory awards ceremony, where top projects will be recognized for excellence in vision, execution, and real-world relevance.
