The mission of Cosmos Education is to foster global sustainable development through improved science and technology education in developing regions of the world. Our guiding vision is quite simple: Youth are the future. Education is the key. Cosmos Education aims to make a sustained and effective difference by working from the ground up – reaching individual students and teachers and making a difference in the classroom. We focus on science and technology education and the role of science and technology in health, the environment, and sustainable development. Our model is grassroots development from within; we want the youth in developing regions of the world to decide how their nations develop. In order to be able to do this, the youth must have the knowledge and skills needed to understand the rapidly changing world around them. They must be inspired, empowered, and engaged in their education.

By working directly in classrooms, making learning fun with hands-on experiments, and providing the students with talented role-models from their own geographic region, we hope to excite students about their potential drive development from within and to catalyze development that will have a positive effect on the biosphere.
