Dr. Proctor's Space2Inspire

In 2021, Dr. Sian Proctor made history when she piloted the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission. This historic flight made her the first African-American woman to pilot a spacecraft and the first Black commercial astronaut. More importantly for Sian, it provided her with the ultimate artist's perspective – viewing Earth from space.

Inspired by her journey, she collaborated with Estes Education to create these Space2Inspire-themed resources that blend science, engineering, art, and poetry. These projects help students explore rocketry concepts while expressing creativity through space-themed art and writing. Space2Inspire encourages learners to think like both scientists and artists as they discover their own place in the universe.

Take Dr. Sian Proctor’s mission of creativity, discovery, and empowerment to new heights with the Space2Inspire STEM Kit. Developed in partnership with Dr. Proctor, this hands-on rocket kit helps students explore the intersection of science and art through real-world rocketry. Perfect for classrooms or at-home learning, Space2Inspire has been recognized as a 2025 ASTRA Star Play Award Finalist and a Top Summer Toy 2025 Winner by The Toy Insider for its ability to inspire curiosity and meaningful play.

Designed for ages 10 and up, the kit includes everything needed for launch, plus opportunities for self-expression. Students can decorate a blank parachute and watch as the rocket’s color-changing fins reveal the science of light and the electromagnetic spectrum. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind experience that blends aerospace education with creativity, helping every learner see themselves as both a scientist and an artist.
