STAR will soon launch the Enterprise Spaceport, a state-of-art mobile space camp that will tour the country and visit communities to excite and engage elementary to college students in interactive science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities involving space and earth sciences. Enterprise Spaceport is a novel approach to STEM educational technology to work with parents and teachers to inspire minds from cradle to career. The mobile unit offers an interactive knowledge-based system that provides the latest in technology and will employ an array of engineering-based project tools and displays along with astronaut flight crew training simulators. STAR will leverage ANSYS 3-D visualization software in its 3-D printing and additive manufacturing education labs. Students will also use ANSYS simulation software to understand how physics-based simulation plays a role in the development of products related to space travel, such as simulating flow over aerodynamic bodies during launch and the thermal stress of re-entry to Earth's
