In Bangladesh, where over 60% of the population is under the age of 35, education is a key focus—but access to quality STEM and space education remains scarce. Despite being home to some of the most resilient and creative young minds in the world, many Bangladeshi students grow up without the resources to explore the stars—literally and figuratively. Public science funding is extremely limited, and few schools offer hands-on space-related curriculum, much less affordable STEM coursework in general. And particularly for students in rural or low-income areas, telescopes, lab kits, or even updated science textbooks are distant luxuries.

Our Bangladesh chapter president Farhan Sabit voiced: "For me, space isn’t just empty darkness – it’s a giant puzzle filled with questions waiting to be explored. Why do planets form the way they do? How do galaxies change over time? What else is out there – beyond what we can see? STEM gives us the tools to chase those questions. It’s where math meets imagination and where science turns curiosity into discovery. Growing up, I didn’t always have access to good lab equipment or up-to-date books, but I still found ways to explore – with simple experiments, stargazing, or building things out of what I had. I believe every student should have that chance – to build, test, ask big questions, and imagine even bigger answers. That’s why I’m proud to be a part of GalaxSea Explorers."
