About STEMCluster
STEMCluster is an innovative educational initiative supported by NASA, designed to inspire, connect, and empower global STEM minds through collaboration, technology, and learning

Mission

The mission of STEMCluster is clear and groundbreaking: to create NASA’s first educational social network, conceived as a digital ecosystem where science, technology, engineering, and mathematics converge—not just as academic disciplines, but as the very pillars upon which the future of humanity will be built.

Our purpose is to establish a stronger, more direct, and more personal channel of communication between students, educators, researchers, professionals, institutions, and industry, in order to break down the traditional barriers of knowledge.

STEMCluster aims to democratize access to scientific and technological knowledge, connect communities that were once isolated, and foster an environment where each user not only learns, but also teaches, inspires, and transforms.

Inspired by the vision of NASA and its commitment to space exploration, our mission goes beyond traditional education: to shape the generations who will lead humanity’s next steps—on Earth and beyond.

Vision

Our vision is to become the global hub of STEM innovation, education, and collaboration, a meeting point where collective intelligence, the spirit of exploration, and human creativity converge in one digital space.

We seek to be the network that not only connects the current actors of science and technology, but also inspires the future astronauts, engineers, scientists, and leaders who will design humanity’s destiny.

In the long term, STEMCluster aspires to be the digital bridge between Earth and space, a place where space agencies, universities, tech companies, and educational communities can share advancements, solve global challenges, and co-create solutions with impact on daily life.

We aim to be the official reference platform for STEM education, aligned with NASA’s vision: uniting the planet in the pursuit of new horizons.

Values

At STEMCluster, we believe true transformation is born from strong principles:

  • Constant innovation: creativity as the driving force of progress.

  • Global collaboration: knowledge thrives when shared without borders.

  • Transparency: a culture of open, honest, and reliable communication.

  • Inclusion and diversity: every voice matters, every culture enriches, every talent adds value.

  • Exploration and discovery: inspired by NASA’s spirit of always reaching further.

  • Social and planetary responsibility: using science and technology to build a fairer, more sustainable, and more resilient world.

History

STEMCluster (stemcluster.com) is a project created by Rafael M. Silvestrini Arroyo, Project Investigator at NASA, with the purpose of transforming STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) on a global scale.

The project was born as an innovative initiative to connect students, educators, professionals, organizations, and knowledge enthusiasts in a single digital space. STEMCluster aims to foster collaboration, continuous learning, and research, inspiring new generations to develop projects that impact space exploration, science, and cutting-edge technology.

Backed by the vision and mission of NASA and supported by leading international space agencies, STEMCluster positions itself as an educational and social network that drives creativity, innovation, and critical thinking. Its goal is to become a global reference point where education, research, and the practical application of scientific and technological knowledge converge.

More than just a platform, STEMCluster is a movement that promotes interdisciplinary cooperation, creates opportunities for academic and professional growth, and connects the brightest minds to tackle humanity’s greatest challenges.

What We Do

STEMCluster is more than a social network: it is a comprehensive ecosystem of educational and professional interaction, specifically designed to serve the needs of the STEM community within NASA and its global partners.

  • Educational social network: connecting students, teachers, researchers, engineers, and companies in one digital space.

  • Official communication channel: fostering direct, personal, and fluid interactions among users.

  • Collaborative platform: enabling mentorships, joint projects, and the sharing of research.

  • Innovation hub: promoting co-creation of technological and scientific solutions for global challenges.

  • Learning opportunities: providing educational resources, virtual conferences, and training programs.

In essence, STEMCluster is not just a place to learn—it is a space to grow, share, and transform knowledge into real-world impact.

Impact

The impact of STEMCluster can be seen across multiple levels:

  • Education: providing access to world-class resources, bridging the opportunity gap.

  • Research: accelerating collaboration between space agencies, universities, and innovation centers.
