NADPH is proud to present a STAIRS program in partnership with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Space Camp Institute, an internationally recognized destination for immersive STEM education.
Hosted on the Space Camp Institute campus, this program brings NADPH’s applied AI and innovation curriculum into a high-impact learning environment. Participants engage in hands-on projects, team-based challenges, and real-world problem solving that integrate AI, robotics, data, and decision-making.
This initiative demonstrates how STAIRS can be embedded within world-class institutions while remaining part of a broader national program developed and stewarded by NADPH.
What Makes STAIRS Different
In a STAIRS experience, participants:
• Build practical skills through project-based learning
• Work on real-world challenges aligned to workforce and industry needs
• Collaborate in multidisciplinary teams during innovation sprints
• Learn from mentors across academia, industry, and research
• Develop pathways into advanced education and technology-driven careers
Who Can Join
STAIRS is designed for students, recent graduates, early-career professionals, and career changers from diverse educational and professional backgrounds.
Ready for the Next Step
Participation in STAIRS begins with a Program Briefing—a structured informational session hosted by NADPH for prospective participants, partners, and sponsors.
Program briefings introduce the STAIRS experience while allowing the NADPH team to:
• Understand participant goals and workforce needs
• Align cohort focus and delivery to real-world applications
• Confirm readiness to launch a committed, purpose-built cohort
This approach ensures that every STAIRS cohort is customized, relevant, and aligned to participant and partner priorities.
