ORANGE PARK – Higher Orbits is a non-profit with the mission of promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, along with teamwork, leadership and communication through the study of spaceflight.
Humanity’s journey into space is an ideal launchpad to excite students like St. Johns Country Day School eighth grader Celine Torkzad about STEM. Higher Orbits works to help them fulfill their dreams and ambitions while also building valuable life skills.
