Made with Educators in Mind

The greatest strength that we have found with the Airbus Foundation Discovery Space is how educator focused it is. The platform doesn’t just provide content, it supports the implementation of that content. Every resource is thoughtfully designed to be self contained, so whether you’re a science teacher, guidance counselor, or enrichment coordinator, you can jump right in without extra prep. You can adapt content to different grade levels, learning styles, and classroom formats, making it just as powerful in traditional settings as in afterschool programs or blended learning environments.

We encourage you to explore the platform, try out a few modules, and share it with your fellow educators! Whether you’re piloting a new unit, building an interdisciplinary curriculum, or just looking for fresh ideas to energize your lessons, AFDS has a wealth of resources for you to utilize!
