Space OutreachTM is a non-profit space education organization, spin-off of ITA, incorporated on July 17, 2001 to enable students to participate in real Space endeavors. More than 3,000 students and 50 teachers nationally and internationally have been involved in flying experiments in ITA's payloads on the Space Shuttle. Now Space OutreachTM has the task of implementing the space education program on a larger scale. Key features will include real time student involvement in actual Space missions and tutorial and educational tools on-line. By encouraging "thinking out of the box", the mission is to motivate students to learn math, science and other subjects in a multi- disciplinary, international framework using space research as a tool and help them to develop their own educational methodology with a Space-oriented perspective applied to Earth problems. Seminars will be given at schools and ground control kits will be utilized to facilitate the space education "hands-on" experience, guaranteeing a permanent link among school programs, research centers, the scientific world and the general public and society. Space OutreachTM is currently engaged in the program "University Among the Stars", as an international hands-on interactive space education structure that will encompass grades K1 through 12 and university and postgraduate students to encourage students to consider careers related to space. The program will be focused on microgravity sciences. Phase I (the pilot program) will allow for up to 30 separate schools to conduct microgravity experiments on the Space Shuttle. The experiments in Phase II would be flown on the International Space Station and include over 50 schools. The experiments in Phase III would be an expansion of Phase II and include real-time downlinks to the Internet showing the experiment in orbit. The aim of this paper is to provide details on the "University Among the Stars" interactive space education program, highlighting some of the student experiments conducted.
